Dr. Pardis Sabeti, Assistant Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University
Dr. Jay Keasling, Chief Executive Officer, Joint BioEnergy Institute, U.S. Department of Energy
Dr. Karen Nelson, Director, Rockville, Maryland, Campus of the J. Craig Venter Institute
Dr. Robert Fraley, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Monsanto Company
