Emily Leproust is an American scientist and entrepreneur. She is the CEO and co-founder[1] of Twist Bioscience, a public company working on DNA synthesis. The company harnesses synthetic biology, providing tools to manufacture insulin from yeast, to tackle malaria,[2] produce spider silk at scale[3] or store information on DNA.[4][5] She was awarded the BIO Rosalind Franklin Award in 2020.[6]
Leproust earned an M.Sc. in Industrial Chemistry from the Lyon School of Industrial Chemistry[7] in 1995 and a PhD in Organic Chemistry & Nucleic Acids Chemistry from the University of Houston in 2001.[8] She worked for the company Agilent where she was Director of Applications and Chemistry R&D—Genomics before starting the company Twist Bioscience.
