About the event
Liz Dennett, PhD, is the founder and CEO of Endolith, a company developing biological intelligence for mining. Endolith uses microbial systems to help recover copper from low-grade ore and mining waste, improving recovery while reducing environmental impact. Liz is a microbiologist whose work focuses on how microbes interact with minerals in extreme environments. Earlier in her career, she conducted research connected to NASA’s astrobiology program, studying how life survives in mineral-rich systems that resemble conditions beyond Earth. Today she applies that science to one of the most practical challenges in mining: unlocking more copper from the material we already have.
