DNA Data Storage Alliance Announces New Board Members

Santa Clara, CA, June 20, 2024 –– The DNA Data Storage Alliance is increasing its governing board by welcoming Biomemory, Entegris, and Imagene to hitch present Board members Catalog, Quantum, Twist Bioscience, and Western Digital. Stéphane Lemaire, Chief Scientific Officer of Biomemory, Julien Muzard, Technologist, Life Sciences of Entegris, and Marthe Colotte, Director of Technology of Imagene have been appointed as representatives of their respective firms.

“The DNA Data Storage Alliance is now 40+ members robust, however it’s simply actually beginning,” stated David Landsman, Co-Chair, DNA Data Storage Alliance Governing Board, and SNIA Board member. “The challenges of making an interoperable DNA information storage ecosystem vary from the essential write/learn expertise, to requirements for interoperability, to storage system design, course of automation, regulatory concerns, and extra. We are excited to welcome Biomemory, Entegris, and Imagene to the DNA Data Storage Alliance Board. Their representatives will improve the management of the Alliance. The capabilities and sources of their firms will help the Alliance’s mission of facilitating the event of DNA information storage options that may retailer large datasets at low TCO over probably 100s of years.”

Biomemory (www.biomemory.com) is a pure play DNA information storage startup that has a purpose to develop end-to-end DNA information storage techniques. “Biomemory just lately launched its first commercially accessible DNA information storage product – DNA Cards,” stated Erfane Arwani, CEO of Biomemory. “However, to appreciate the imaginative and prescient of end-to-end DNA information storage options, an interoperable multivendor ecosystem is significant. We are happy to hitch the DNA Data Storage Alliance Board and take part much more in bringing this ecosystem to life.”

Entegris (www.entegris.com) is a number one provider of superior supplies and significant course of options for the semiconductor, life sciences, and different high-tech industries. “Entegris may be very excited to be becoming a member of the board of the DNA Data Storage Alliance,” stated Julien Muzard, Technologist at Entegris. “Playing on the strengths within the microelectronics options now we have been growing for years, Entegris can carry subsequent era chemical compounds, supplies, and silicon-based fluidics administration options to help the emergence of the DNA information storage ecosystem.”

Imagene (www.imagene.eu) has greater than 20 years of experience and expertise within the room temperature storage and stability evaluation of nucleic acids and biospecimens. “Imagene’s DNAshell® expertise has proved its value in lots of utility fields and is being adopted by firms for DNA information storage,” defined Sophie Tuffet, CEO of Imagene. “Imagene believes we have to create a broad market with sturdy options to spur the expansion of DNA information storage, a medium that may sustainably meet the exponential development of digital information worldwide. Imagene has been actively concerned in requirements work inside the Alliance, and its presence on the Board will strengthen our involvement.”
