Jane Metcalfe

Chairman
Human Immunome Project

Jane's focus throughout her career has been on how technology is transforming our world. She is currently fascinated with how deeply we can see inside the body and how processing the data we collect is allowing us to discover new cells, understand complex biological systems, and engineer bacteria, viruses, DNA… and ultimately ourselves.

She is the Founder and CEO of NEO.LIFE, a media company created to explore the radical changes taking place in humans as we harness the tools of engineering and computer science to alter our own biology. Her latest passion is The Human Immunome Project, a newly formed NGO with the mission of building mechanistic and probabilistic models of the human immunome.
