Podcasts about pheronym

Nematodes, also known as roundworms, are the most abundant animals on earth but are largely misunderstood. In gardening and agriculture, several nematode species are known for being pests, but it's important to recognize that many other nematode species are beneficial, providing biological control of insect pests. To explain how lab-produced pheromones can be used to repel pest nematodes and stimulate beneficial nematodes, my guest this week is Dr. Fatma Kaplan, the CEO and founder of Pheronym.

Thanks for joining us, today we welcome Dr. Fatma Kaplan. She is the co-founder, CEO, and CSO of Pheronym. Not only is she an entrepreneur and accomplished scientist with experience in biology and chemistry, but she also has a passion for understanding the intricacies and behaviors of both parasitic and beneficial nematodes. Monte and Fatma explore everything from nematodes in agriculture to nematodes in space, yes space! Dr. Kaplan conducted the first agricultural biocontrol experiment in Space at the International Space Station in 2020. Dr. Kaplan has a Ph.D. in Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology and postdoctoral training in Natural Product Chemistry with a focus on isolating biologically active compounds. She discovered the first sex pheromone of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and published in Nature in 2008. Then she discovered pheromones regulate other behaviors in both parasitic and beneficial nematodes. Dr. Kaplan conducted the first agricultural biocontrol experiment in Space at the International Space Station in 2020. She has very high impact publications and her dissertation was cited in textbooks within 5 years of publication. Dr. Kaplan worked as a scientist at NASA, the National Magnetic Field Laboratory and the US Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service. Dr. Kaplan co-founded Pheronym to bring nematode pheromone technology to the market. Dr. Kaplan believes that nematode pheromone technology will provide effective, non-toxic pest control for farmers and gardeners. https://www.pheronym.com/ https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2019/starship-nematode/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022201119300503 Got questions you want answered?

On this episode of the Ag News Daily podcast, we are talking to Karl Schiller of Pheronym. Karl explains to us what nematodes are, how they impact agriculture, and the technology Pheronym is using.

Dr. Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller founded Pheronym, an agricultural biotech company that provides safe, non-toxic, and innovative solutions to solve numerous agricultural problems. They also recently become involved in the development of space nematodes under the company AstroNematode. AstroNematode seeks to establish interstellar agriculture for Earth. The first launching experiment will happen this December and provide data to pave the way for sustainable agriculture outside of Earth.   Dr. Fatma and Cameron join me today to share their latest project, AstroNematode, and how it can help provide sustainable solutions for future generations. They describe the origins of this idea and the companies that helped fund the project. They discuss their tie-ins with private companies like Space-X and explain the experiments that will happen in space. They also share what it’s like to work on this project while running Pheronym at the same time.       “If you're going to colonize the moon and Mars, we need to have agriculture.” - Dr. Fatma Kaplan       This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast:   How the project got started and where they found funding. The best qualities of the project and what it can provide data scientists. Their contingencies when the project doesn't work as planned. The kind of animals NASA plans to take to Mars. Why they think nematodes can survive and reproduce in space. The upcoming launch and how the nematodes will be packaged. Making sure the experiments are running smoothly while they remain on Earth. How they manage to run a startup and the nematode project at the same time.       Resources Mentioned   Microscopic Biological Pest Wars with Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller of Pheronym     Connect with Dr. Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller   Pheronym AstroNematode Email: kaplan@pheronym.com Email: schiller@pheronym.com         We Are a Part of a Bigger Family!    The Future of Agriculture Podcast is now part of the Farm and Rural Ag Network.

  Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller are the founders of Pheronym, an agricultural biotechnology company that develops safe and nontoxic solutions to protect a wide variety of plants. Their flagship product is based on pheromones which is extracted from microscopic roundworms called nematodes. Fatma is Pheronym’s CEO/CSO and is an accomplished scientist with a Ph.D. in Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology and postdoctoral training in Natural Product Chemistry. Cameron is the COO and has extensive experience in entrepreneurship with a bachelor’s degree in economics and a Master of Science degree in pharmacy healthcare management.   Fatma and Cameron join me today to discuss their pheromone-based pesticide and how it can improve the agricultural landscape in the future. They describe the primary problem regarding nematodes, what inspired them to investigate the use of pheromones as a pesticide, and what eventually lead them to make nematodes work for farmers instead of against them. They also explain the science behind their product and its mechanical and legal challenges as well as share their experience with accelerators.     “We need to have rotations and multiple solutions when it comes to pest control options.” - Fatma Kaplan       This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast:   What made them look at nematodes for agricultural purposes? What pheromones are and how they utilize it to control nematodes. The challenges of developing nematodes and the pheromones to control them. How to collect nematode secretions. How farmers can identify if they have a nematode problem. The most effective treatment against parasitic nematodes. The difference between nematodes with pheromones vs nematodes without pheromones. How damaging are nematodes to agriculture? Their experience with accelerators and how they helped the business grow. How do connections and networking work with accelerators? Should they be worried about nematodes developing pheromone resistance?     Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller’s Key Takeaways:   Nematodes can hinder farm production, but they can be utilized to benefit the agriculture industry. If you’ve done everything but can’t seem to grow your crops or produce right, you might have a nematode problem.   Connect with Fatma Kaplan and Cameron Schiller   Pheronym Email: schiller@pheronym.com Phone: (352) 219-4464             We Are a Part of a Bigger Family!    The Future of Agriculture Podcast is now part of the Farm and Rural Ag Network.

Terri continues with her series on angel investing with a recap of her activities over the last two weeks including events with Springboard, office hours at Bolt and InTeaHouse, her weekly advising of three startups, and plans for her trip to Europe in June/July with InTeaHouse.   Show Highlights Terri recaps why she is doing this series of podcasts: create a mesh network of like-minded investors to invest in the startups and founders who aren’t necessarily getting the attention from mainstream angel and venture investors despite having very promising and investable startups Terri attended Springboard’s Digital Health cohort final presentations and the pitches for the new cohort of biotech companies. Terri talks about the deal she is working on syndicating on AngelList called Sendaride. She is performing due diligence not for her own investing but for others who will be considering investing alongside her. She looked at the deal, the company, the management team, financials, projections, technology, the product, market opportunity, and sales. Terri talks about the office hours she held at Bolt on Brannan St. in SF. Terri did some office hours for some founders at InTeaHouse with about 20 founders with startups that crossed all industries. She provided some advice and guidance to the founders while she was there. Terri had registered for a MedTech Women event but had to skip it due to her busy schedule. Terri handles emails, calls, research on a daily basis. Terri is advising three companies including The Guild, Quinn Style, and Lisa Health and picked up half a dozen new clients through Tech Futures Group. Terri loves learning things in one place and applies it to other companies and people. Terri learns by doing and is learning as she goes along. It’s painful to see how ignorant she was two years ago and how much more needs to be learned. Terri talks about the European fireside chat tour she is going to do with InTeaHouse where she will be visiting Geneva, Zurich, Munich, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Vienna, Slovakia, and of course, Paris.   Call to Action Subscribe to one podcast and one newsletter and get into the groove of listening and reading.
