UF Graduate Student Start-Up Focuses on Creating Chemicals From Ocean Microbes
In Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo describes the sea as “everything,” the “vast reservoir of Nature.” A pair of UF Ph.D. students are diving into these vast depths. They are harnessing the power of marine microbes and unlocking their potential for sustainable chemical applications. Jessica Tittl Nielsen (CEO) and Monica Schul (Chief Science Officer) founded a biotechnology company, Cordelia Biosciences, to create sustainable chemicals from ocean microbes.
