Genomics and the Global Bioeconomy, a new volume in the Translational and Applied Genomics series, empowers researchers, administrators, and sustainability leaders to apply genomics and novel omics technologies to advance the global bioeconomy and sustainability. Here, more than 15 international experts illustrate—with concrete examples across various industries and areas of global need—how genomics is addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of our time. Chapters offer an in-depth, case-based treatment of various topics, from genomics technologies supporting sustainability development goals to novel synthetic biology advancements improving biofuel production, conservation, sustainable food production, bioremediation, and genomic monitoring.

Editors Catalina Lopez-Correa and Adrian Suarez-Gonzalez skillfully bring clarity to this diverse and increasingly impactful research, uniting various perspectives to inspire fresh innovation in driving the global bioeconomy.

Dr. Catalina Lopez-Correa MD, PhD is Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Director of the Canadian COVID19 Genomics Network (CanCOGeN) at Genome Canada. Before that she was Chief Operating Officer at Ruta N Medellin. She has 20 years of international experience in genomics in both the academic and private sectors. Before Ruta N, she was Chief Scientific Officer for Genome British Columbia and Genome Quebec and held senior research positions with pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and with deCODE genetics in Iceland. As CSO at Genome BC and Genome Quebec she coordinated several initiatives to help understand and address the social, legal, ethical, economical aspects of genomics. Dr. Lopez-Correa has been a national and international champion of equity, diversity, and inclusion in genomics and science in general. Dr. Adriana Suarez-Gonzalez MSc PhD: Science and Technology Advisor at 10x Genomics. For her Ph.D., Adriana combined phenotypic data and cutting-edge genomics to identify genetic markers associated with traits of ecological and economic interest. Her work has great potential for forest management in the face of climate change and provides an example on how genomics provides opportunities to meet the challenges of the Global Bioeconomy. At 10x Genomics, she helps researchers advance our understanding of biological processes with new technologies for single cell and spatial genomics analyses.
