Previously he was a Principal with The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he helped make biomedical technology accessible to low-resource settings for global health. As a neuroscientist, Sebastian has published widely cited work on neural circuits and the genetic regulation of behavior. Sebastian dreamed of becoming a biologist at age 12 after reading Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle and is now focused on his dream to make biotech tools accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Dr. Kraves is also a co-founder of Genes in Space, a collaboration between miniPCR bio and Boeing with support from ISS National Lab and New England Biolabs. This initiative invites youth to design innovative space biology experiments to be conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Genes in Space has flown ten breakthrough student-led research investigations to the ISS, eight of which have resulted in peer-reviewed publications led by high school students. Dr. Kraves is committed to keep fueling their dreams.
