Biotechnologist Sebastian Cocioba uses gene-editing to create new kinds of flowers from his home lab on Long Island, aiming to democratize genetic engineering.
The article from WIRED introduces Sebastian Cocioba, a biotechnologist who conducts plant engineering from his home lab on Long Island. Cocioba's journey in plant biotechnology began in his childhood with a fascination for plants, which later transformed into a passion for genetically modifying flowers to create novel varieties. Despite facing financial and academic challenges, Cocioba built a makeshift laboratory by acquiring equipment and using 3D printing to create affordable tools. His goal is to democratize the tools of genetic engineering and make them more accessible to amateurs. He documents his experiments online and sells plasmids used for flower transformation. Cocioba also collaborates with startups like Senseory Plants, aiming to engineer plants that emit unique scents, such as the aroma of old books, thereby redefining the indoor plant experience.
