Jessica Green helps organisations design healthier buildings and workplaces through microbial science and environmental genomics. Jessica works with architects, planners, and executives on indoor air quality, sustainable design, and workplace wellbeing. Guggenheim Fellow, TED Senior Fellow, and World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer.
Jessica Green is a scientist reshaping how we understand the invisible microbial world inside our buildings, cities, and bodies, and what it means for human health.
Green is a faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute and co-founder of Phylagen, a DNA analytics company named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. She holds a Guggenheim Fellowship and a TED Senior Fellowship, with research published in Nature and Science.
Her work bridges biology and architecture in practical ways. At the University of Oregon, Green founded the Biology and the Built Environment Center, where she collaborated with architects and engineers to study how microbial communities in hospitals, classrooms, and offices affect public health. At Phylagen, she applies environmental genomics to improve indoor air quality and supply chain transparency. This research gives building designers, urban planners, and public health leaders concrete data to make spaces healthier.
Audiences leave Green's presentations with a clearer picture of how microbes shape indoor environments, actionable frameworks for bio-inspired building design, and a fresh perspective on sustainability that starts at the microscopic level. Her visually rich talks translate complex science into ideas that architects, executives, and policymakers can apply immediately.
Book Jessica Green to give your audience the science and strategy behind healthier, more sustainable spaces.
Jessica Green brings rigorous genomics research from Nature and Science directly into built environment strategy, giving design and facilities teams the microbial data they need to improve indoor health outcomes. Her dual role leading Phylagen and teaching at Santa Fe Institute means she translates lab findings into frameworks architects and planners actually use.

Jessica Green uses visually rich presentations to translate environmental genomics research into actionable frameworks, drawing on data from her work at the Biology and the Built Environment Center and Phylagen to show how microbial communities in built spaces affect public health.
Jessica Green speaks on the microbiology of indoor environments, bio-inspired building design, and the intersection of environmental genomics with public health. She is a faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute, a Guggenheim Fellow, and co-founder of Phylagen, a DNA analytics company recognised as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, with research published in Nature and Science.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
