Details

Join the MIT Sloan Machine Intelligence for Manufacturing Operations club for a morning at Arcaea, a biotech company building beauty ingredients and products from biology. Arcaea founder and CEO Jasmina Aganovic studied Chemical Engineering at MIT, then spent more than a decade bringing innovation to market at beauty companies including Fresh, Living Proof, and the microbiome skincare brand Mother Dirt. She later joined Ginkgo Bioworks as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence and spent two years laying the groundwork for Arcaea. Its work includes Future Society, a fragrance brand that has recreated the scents of extinct flowers and a scent based on microbes cultured from clouds in Boston.

Jasmina will talk about her path from engineering to founding a company and take questions on what it takes to build and scale a biotech business for consumer products. Afterward, attendees will tour Arcaea's laboratory. Anyone curious about engineering entrepreneurship, biotechnology, consumer products, and biomanufacturing is encouraged to attend. Bring closed-toe shoes for the lab tour.
Dress Casual (jeans ok)
