Read about how Biobotz got started, where it is now, and where it is going.

Sara is a senior undergraduate student at Wake Forest University in the pursuit of a major in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Entrepreneurship. She was a cofounder of the company in 2007, and today serves as the CEO. Sara's motivation and insight into Biobotz stem from her youth. She remembers reading Time Life science books,National Geographic, and Zoobooks magazines as early as the first grade and being intrigued by the colorful descriptions of things she had never seen before. Sara attributes her passion to work, research, and teach in the field of science to early exposure to creative science media. BioBotz is her opportunity not only to give children the inspiration she had, but to expand upon it with new entertainment media and scientific content.

In addition to BioBotz, Sara is a member of the Entrepreneurship Society, the Tri-Beta National Biological Honor Society, the Association for Women in Science, and the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority at Wake Forest University. She researched an anti-cancer drug testing technology in the biophysics department the summer of 2008 and held a research fellowship for the study of protein synthesis on the ribosome the summer of 2009 to present.

In the future, Sara hopes to expand BioBotz into a nation-wide entertainment company. Her graduate school plans include medical school and continued involvment in BioBotz. With the help of upcoming WFU undergraduates, Sara wants to make BioBotz a permanent porthole for Wake Forest scientists to connect with the community

Jane is in her fourth and final year at Wake Forest University. She is working toward a major in Biology and minor in Entrepreneurship. As the acting COO, Jane’s role has been varied in the last four years to accommodate a start-up company, but has been involved tracking the finances of the company, generating new ideas for the company, and arranging the website.

Jane developed interest in both science and art at an early age, and was awarded the “Science Award” in eighth grade for earning the top grades in science. The award motivated further interests in science. Jane was accepted into the Blue Ribbon awarded high school, Bergen County Academies (Hackensack, NJ), in the Academy for Medical Science and Technology where various electives in art, computer science, and business supplemented her curriculum in anatomy, physics, molecular and cellular biology, and chemistry.

Besides taking classes and continuing Biobotz at Wake Forest University, Jane actively participates in the Entrepreneurship Society, researches in the biophysics laboratory, and now works at the Sculpture Studio. She has participated in the panel for the annual Elevator Competition and completed an internship at the Babcock Demon Incubator for early stage start-ups. Informally, she enjoys absorbing information by watching educational television (Discovery Channel, National Geographics, and History Channel), reading books about her inspirational heroes, and adding new music to her always expanding music collection.

While she has a wide variety of interests and big dreams, Jane has yet to pin down what she wishes to immediately pursue after graduation.  At the moment, she desires to simultaneously continue working on Biobotz, develop her very own educational/entertaining television show, network with a global array of biotech companies, travel to foreign countries, and stop the world from destruction. She is proud of the accomplishments that Biobotz has already made in inspiring local high school students to animate strange looking proteins and hopes that more teens will be inspired to pursue scientific careers for the advancement of future technologies.
