What is crime science and what does it have to do with biotechnology? Crime science embarks on the perspective of crime as an event and attempts to understand it through the immediate environment, and less on how the offender developed. Dr Mariam Elgabry is founder and CEO of Bronic (www.bronic.co), the first cyber-biosecurity company. Her background is in deep-tech and bioengineering, developed from leading award-winning projects in industrial settings, during her time at Astra Zeneca and Microsoft. She holds a PhD in Cyber-biosecurity from the Dawes Centre for Future Crime and the Advanced Biochemical Engineering Centre at UCL. Dr Elgabry has developed genetic circuits as biosensors for smart pills in start-up environments and delivered substantial research outputs across public, private and civil society sectors during my PhD at UCL with a patent and publication record in priority areas of Science & Technology. She was also a Cyber Fellow at Yale University Law School. Dr Elgabry’s work on biotechnology crime has been recognised by the UK Parliament Joint Committee for National Security and the United Nations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
