Karen Davies, staff scientist in the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, and Jenny Mortimer, Director of Plant Systems Biology at the Joint BioEnergy Institute, are two of 50 extraordinary scientists under the age of 40 who have been selected to participate alongside business and political leaders in the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, which is taking place from June 26-28 in Tianjin, China.
Berkeley Lab Scientists Brew Jet Fuel in One-Pot Recipe
Scientists at JBEI have engineered a strain of bacteria that enables a “one-pot” method for producing advanced biofuels from a slurry of pre-treated plant material. The achievement is a critical step in making biofuels a viable competitor to fossil fuels. Read more at the Berkeley Lab News Center.
JBEI Hosts US-Australia City Exchange on Innovation Ecosystems
Delegates of the US-Australia City Exchange on Innovation Ecosystems, presented by the Future Cities Collaborative, an initiative of the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney visited JBEI on May 5. The delegates from New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia are visiting several cities in the United States to learn how to plan, finance, implement and support innovation districts in their cities. Their first stop was Emeryville. EmeryStation East, where JBEI is located, was presented as the hub of clean energy and a key space for research in in life, physical and nano sciences.

Biosciences Area Participates at EERE’s National Lab Impact Summit
On May 4, 2016, EERE hosted a National Lab Impact Summit at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to celebrate recent National Laboratory successes and bring together the nation’s public- and private-sector energy leaders to formulate the next stage of clean energy technology innovation. The full-day program included keynote presentations, break-out panels by technology, discussions with industry-leading Chief Technology Officers, interactive exhibits, networking opportunities and tours.
JBEI Highlights Commercialization Success on Capitol Hill
The three U.S. Department of Energy-funded bioenergy research centers (BRCs) – the Joint BioEnergy Institute, the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, and the BioEnergy Science Center provided a briefing on Capitol Hill highlighting their intellectual property outputs. The briefing was followed by a celebration of their research successes, including their 500th invention disclosure which was reported last month.
Congressional members and staff had the opportunity to meet the scientists from the BRCs and industry partners to learn about research advancements in the production of fuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass, and the collaborations that are bringing these technologies to the market.
