Ben Lamm
Tech Entrepreneur, Co-Founder of Colossal
What does it really take to bring back a species from extinction - and what happens once it’s back? At Brain Bar, Ben Lamm is tackling not just the genetic puzzle of de-extinction, but the ecological and ethical ones as well. After building and selling five tech companies, he co-founded Colossal Biosciences, pioneering species revival from woolly mammoths to dodos, and most recently, dire wolves. Ben's work raises complex questions about biodiversity, climate adaptation, and what it means to “restore” nature in the 21st century. His mission goes beyond spectacle: it’s about building tools to repair ecosystems and rethink the boundaries of biology.
