Policy team memberSara Knurowska
Trained as a biotechnologist, professionally an educator, and now working predominantly in community building. I run the annual synbio hackathon Read~Write~Grow across Europe that brings interdisciplinary teams together to design solutions to hard problems. At EUSynBioS, I work in the policy team, fostering strategic partnerships to help shape the future of biotech in Europe. I’m motivated by helping people realise their strengths and collaborate effectively. My hobbies include reading and writing science fiction to reimagine and inspire our biofutures.
