Dr. Fatma Kaplan's path to becoming a scientist entrepreneur started with the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, and identifying its mate-finding pheromones, ascarosides. Here is a look at her inspiring story ➡️ buff.ly/CFPunMY #nematodes #pheromones #biocontrol #startup

We had a great time pitching at the "CRISPR, Climate, and Agriculture: The Next Frontier of the Biorevolution" in San Francisco on May 20! We also really enjoyed listening to pitches from other showcase partners. 📷 Thanks Mary Louise Gifford for the photo! #cropprotection

Everyone is aware of the unmatched strength and power of composites in engineering. What if we applied the composite concept to the #biopesticide market for agricultural #pestcontrol? ➡️ buff.ly/3xcSViH #ecofriendly #pheromones #nematodes #biocontrol

We're excited to pitch tomorrow, May 20, at the "CRISPR, Climate, and Agriculture: The Next Frontier of the Biorevolution" in San Francisco, CA. Register: luma.com/piqitptu #agriculture #nematodes #pheromone #cropprotection #biorevolution

Dr. Fatma Kaplan and Karl Cameron Schiller had a great meeting with UC Davis Chemical Engineering students for their capstone project. They're working on technoeconomic analysis of scaling up #nematode pheromones. The students will present their findings on June 4 at UC Davis.
