Dr. Una Ryan Joins Elemental Machines Board of Directors

Biologist, Healthcare Executive, and Entrepreneur Tapped as Trusted
Resource for Growing Organization

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Elemental
Machines today announced that the distinguished Dr. Una Ryan, OBE
has joined its Board of Directors. Bringing more than 50 years of
experience to this role, Ryan will provide strategic guidance as
Elemental Machines expands its market leadership in data-driven insights
into complex processes for science-based industries.

A highly regarded biologist, healthcare executive, entrepreneur and
investor, Ryan has a proven track record of building and running
businesses at the intersection of technology and science. She is
currently a limited partner at Breakout Ventures, Managing Director of
Golden Seeds, an investment firm empowering women entrepreneurs, and a
partner in Astia Angel where she’s responsible for investing in
women-led ventures. She has a portfolio of approximately 30 start-ups in
the Bay Area and Boston.

“Manufacturing leaders in engineering-focused industries like
semiconductors have leveraged technology to achieve unprecedented levels
of quality and consistency, improving yields and minimizing defects.
Unfortunately, more research-based industries, like synthetic biology,
have yet to benefit from these same innovations – until now,” said Ryan.
“Machine learning and intelligent systems have the power to
revolutionize research and manufacturing processes, and the technology
Elemental Machines is producing is at the forefront of this effort. I
look forward to drawing on my diverse background to advise Elemental
Machines for continued success.”

Ryan holds a Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University
of Cambridge and BS degrees from Bristol University, and currently
serves on the boards of both universities. Ryan has additional
experience as a member of the boards of public, private and non-profit
companies and has served on Compensation, Audit, Nominating and
Governance, and R&D committees. Current board positions include
RenovoRx, a medical device company, and Nativis, non-invasive treatment
for cancer and other serious diseases. Previously, she was Chair of the
Bay Area BioEconomy Initiative, an industry organization committed to
fostering innovation and collaboration in the Bay Area, now combined
with CLSI (California Life Sciences Institute), and was formerly on the
board of BIO, BayBio and Chair of MassBio.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Una to our Board of Directors,” said Sridhar
Iyengar, Ph.D., President and CEO of Elemental Machines. “As a
distinguished scientist, entrepreneur, and investor, she brings
first-hand understanding of the market opportunity and an unmatched
background and skill set that will be invaluable to our organization
and, in turn, our customers.”
