FiRe 2016 will take place September 27-30, 2016, at the Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley in Park City, Utah.

Aromyx Corporation develops technologies that for the first time enable scientific, reproducible measurement and digitization of taste and scent. The company's unique platform, the EssenceChip™, places the human taste and olfactory receptors into a disposable assay, or biochip. EssenceChip is used in the food and beverage, flavor and fragrance, consumer packaged goods, chemical, and agricultural industries. Aromyx has its lab and offices in Palo Alto, Calif.

"What if you could edit a taste or a smell? Aromyx is moving taste and scent into the digital world -- for some of the largest companies in the world -- and we look forward to presenting our groundbreaking work to the FiRe 2016 audience," said Aromyx CEO Chris Hanson.

"Aromyx has not only achieved the Holy Grail in digitizing taste and smell -- it has also opened the door to an entire new technological pathway for chip-based detection at the exquisite sensitivities exhibited in vivo. We are delighted to have Aromyx with us at FiRe 2016 as a FiReStarter company," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service.
