Ashley Beckwith is the founder and CEO of Foray Bioscience, where she and her team leverage plant cell culture to createpredictable access to the plants and plant products the world needs, by growing them from the cell up. Ashley’s path into the world of plants has been a curious one. She holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and hasbeen innovating at the intersection of biology, materials, and manufacturing for over a decade. Her award-winning Ph.D. research led to the first demonstration of lab-grown “wood”, combining principles of tissue engineering and plant culture to grow structured plant materials in the lab. Now, Ashley leads Foray’s team of plant biologists, process engineers, software developers, and machine learningexperts to make plant cell and tissue culture predictable and accessible for applications from micropropagation to fabricated seed production.
