About Mr. Curt Becker
As a founder of Applied Biosystems, Curt Becker was in the forefront of developing, commercializing and supporting many of the enabling technologies of the biotech industry. In 2006, he founded New Dimension Performance; a strategic development, planning and implementation partner for business executives and their teams.
Realizing in 2013 that one of the technologies developed many years ago by Applied Biosystems was still widely used but had now become an impediment to modern applications, Curt reunited with his former colleague Bill Efcavitch and formed Molecular Assemblies to develop next-generation DNA synthesis processes.
Additionally, Mr. Becker participates in the community by contributing as a marketing domain expert with Connect’s Springboard program and multiple STEM education-based programs.
