DNA Data Storage Alliance

The @SNIA DNA Data Storage Alliance was pleased to represent DNA data storage in the Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, as well as present presentations from Vincent Franceschini and Richelle Ahlvers.

Welcome to the DNA Data Storage Alliance Summer 2026 newsletter! DNA Data Storage continues to make progress on multiple fronts. Here’s what’s happening within the Alliance and in the industry right now:

SDC 26 attendees! Richelle Ahlvers will represent the SNIA DNA Data Storage Alliance and discuss: “Extending DNA Data Storage Standardization with SNIA Swordfish for the Data Center.” See you next month:

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 29th in Santa Clara, CA! Vincent Franceschini will represent the @SNIA @DnaDataStorage Alliance & discuss: “Standards Progress, Industry Momentum, & the Road to Commercial Readiness.” See you at SDC 2026:

Vincent Franceschini, co-chair of the SNIA DNA Data Storage Alliance and Richelle Ahlvers, chair of the SNIA Storage Management Community, connect the dots between a new storage medium and the standards-based management that makes it operable at scale:

We can’t wait to see you all in Rome May 27-29. Explore the program here: @DnaDataStorage, @SNIA

Hear from featured speaker Roger Rudoff, VP of Engineering at Atlas Data Storage in Rome as one of our featured speakers May 27th-29th. Join us to discuss DNA-based data storage and computing: @DnaDataStorage, @SNIA

Roger Rudoff is an engineering professional with experience in biotech & data storage industries. He is VP of Engineering at Atlas Data Storage since May 2025, previously consulting in Instrument & Hardware Design for May companies, including Wako Chemical and Nanopoint Imaging.

Our next featured speaker at Storage and Computing with DNA (in Rome May 27th-29th ) is Damien Woods, Professor at Maynooth University. Join us to discuss DNA-based data storage and computing: @DnaDataStorage @SNIA

The Woods group conducts research on molecular computers: collections of carefully engineered DNA molecules that bump into each other & interact in a test tube to solve a computational problem. His focus is on both the underlying computational theory & implementation in the lab

Registration ends tomorrow, May 15th. Join us in Rome from the 27th-29th of May. The conference aims to promote collaboration and innovation by uniting top researchers, industry experts and startups working in the areas of DNA data storage and computing:
