Michael Shipman<\/strong>, CEO, is a biomedical researcher who completed his Master\u2019s in Biomedical Technology at Syracuse University, where his work integrates plant tissue culture, phyto\u2011biochemistry, molecular genetics, and climate\u2011driven disease ecology. He had the opportunity as a graduate researcher assistant to work with SUNY ESF\u2019s American Chestnut Restoration Project, where he contributed to advancing pathogen resistance in chestnut and beech species through molecular approaches and cultivation techniques. Michael’s research emphasizes the regulation of human genetic biomarkers via plant derivatives, therapeutic food and device innovation, and the development of sustainable agricultural practices that address global challenges in disease resilience and resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Genes is the platform through which Michael translates this research into products that support chronic illness management and disease prevention using natural delivery systems. He also consults on scientific and career networking and organizes unconventional outreach events, such as Skydiving for Science<\/em>, which raises awareness of aeromicrobiology and pathogen dispersal, including the spread of Coccidioides<\/em> spp. that causes Valley Fever. These initiatives reflect his commitment to bridging rigorous research with public engagement and innovative solutions for health and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
