Description
Are you fascinated by the power and potential of biotechnology? Do you want to learn about cutting-edge innovations that can address climate change?
The Climate Biotech Podcast explores the most pressing problems at the intersection of climate and biology, and most importantly, how to solve them. Hosted by Homeworld co-founder Paul Reginato, the podcast features interviews with leading experts diving deep into topics like plant synthetic biology, biomanufacturing, greenhouse gas removal, and more!
This podcast is powered by Homeworld Collective, a non-profit whose mission is to ignite the field of climate biotechnology.

On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, Paul Reginato is joined by Evan Groover, a plant synthetic biologist and postdoctoral fellow in Mary Gehring's lab at the Whitehead Institute at MIT. His work spans CRISPR tool development, engineering photosynthesis, plant epigenetics, and making plant genome editing accessible beyond the well-funded incumbents that have historically dominated the field. Evan grew up in Northern California in what he calls the epicenter of the non-GMO movement,...
On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, Paul Reginato is joined by Robbie Wilson, a research scientist in the Department of Chemistry at MIT, where he leads the RuBisCO engineering effort in Matt Shoulders' lab. Robbie has spent his career working on RuBisCO – the enzyme that fixes CO2 –across labs in Australia, Germany, and the United States. He co-leads the Enhanced Photosynthesis in Crops (EPiC) Project, which applies directed evolution to RuBisCO with the goal of moving improved v...
On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, we are joined by Henry Lee, CEO of Cultivarium, a Focused Research Organization (FRO) that accelerates the engineering of non-model organisms. Henry came to biotechnology through electrical engineering, after a chance opportunity to dissect crayfish neurons inspired a passion for using engineering to understand biology while using biology to engineer. During his postdoc in George Church's lab, he pursued what he calls "bucket list science....
On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, Paul Reginato is joined by Kiara Reyes Gamas, environmental synthetic biologist and non-resident postdoctoral scholar at Rice University's Baker Institute. Alongside her bench science, she has consistently engaged with the social and governance dimensions of synthetic biology, which shapes how she thinks about engineering microbes for environmental release. Much of Kiara’s work has focused on horizontal gene transfer, the process by which microb...
On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, Paul is joined by Eli Hornstein, founder and CEO of Elysia Bio, a company engineering feed crops to address methane emissions from livestock. Eli came to plant biotech through an unlikely path: undergraduate degrees in ecology and linguistics, conservation fieldwork across East Africa and South America, and a Fulbright Fellowship in Mongolia before a PhD in plant genetic engineering at NC State. That ecological background shapes how Eli thinks a...
