Nathan Lewis
Prof. Nathan Lewis is a GRA Eminent Scholar and Professor at the Center for Molecular Medicine, Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Georgia, along with being an Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego. He is an expert in biotechnology and computational biology, with extensive experience in the analysis and design of cell factories and biologics. With experience in genomics and systems biology, he helped lead the public efforts to sequence the genomes of the Chinese hamster and diverse CHO cell lines. He subsequently served as the Scientific Coordinator for the CHO cell engineering program at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability and the National Biologics Facility at the Technical University of Denmark, wherein his team led the development of complex systems biology models and A.I. to study and engineer metabolism, protein secretion, and glycosylation in mammalian cells, and to engineer desired traits into mammalian production hosts.
