Jessica Green's biography

At a glance

  • Microbiologist studying indoor environments and human health
  • Cofounder of DNA analytics company Phylagen
  • Pioneer in biology and built environment research
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.

Why we recommend booking Jessica

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.
