Iorns has been profiled in many leading publications including Nature, FastCompany, the San Francisco Business Times and Xconomy. Iorns lives in Palo Alto, California, where Science Exchange is now headquartered.[5][6][7] Education and early lifeIorns was born in Melbourne, Australia, but was primarily raised in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. She holds a first-class honors degree in Biomedical Science from the University of Auckland and a Ph.D. in Cancer Biology from The Institute of Cancer Research, a constituent college of the University of London. She was supervised by Alan Ashworth and her thesis was titled High throughput functional analysis for the identification of breast cancer targets.[8] Career and researchIorns completed a postdoctoral research Fellowship at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. In 2008 she received the Young Investigator Award from the Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research for her work characterizing Breast Stem Cells for the Identification of Cancer Stem Cell Specific Therapeutic Targets.[9] In 2010, Iorns was promoted to Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Iorns' research focuses on identifying mechanisms of breast cancer development and progression. She has several high impact publications in the field.[10] Iorns has been a longtime spokesperson on the issue of reproducibility in academic research.[7] In August 2012 she helped launch the Reproducibility Initiative, a program developed to assist researchers in validating their findings by repeating their experiments through independent laboratories.[11][12][13] Entrepreneurial and investment careerIorns is the founder and CEO of Science Exchange. Iorns conceived of the idea for Science Exchange while at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.[14] She needed to conduct immunology experiments, but had difficulty finding potential collaborators or providers to work with. She formed Science Exchange with two co-founders (Ryan Abbott and Dan Knox) in May 2011. In 2012 Iorns was recognized by the Kauffman Foundation for her role in starting Science Exchange.[15] Iorns is also a part-time partner of Y Combinator and leads the accelerator's biotech practice.[16][17] In addition, Iorns is a mentor at IndieBio, an accelerator focusing life sciences established by SOSV in 2014.[18] Awards and honorsIn December 2012, Iorns was recognized by the scientific journal Nature as one of the "Ten People that Mattered in 2012" for her role in launching the Reproducibility Initiative.[1] In May 2013, Iorns was named, along with co-founders Ryan Abbott and Dan Knox, as "Tech’s Most Inspiring New Founder" by SV Angel’s David Lee.[19] In June 2013, Iorns was mentioned as one of the "50 Women Who Are Changing The World" by WIRED.[20] In May 2014, Iorns was one of six female entrepreneurs to receive the Glamstarter Award from Glamour Magazine.[21] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|author=various|title=366 days: Nature's 10|journal=Nature|volume=492|issue=7429|year=2012|pages=335–343|issn=0028-0836|doi=10.1038/492335a}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Iorns, Elizabeth}}2. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/14/us-science-replication-service-idUSBRE87D0HY20120814 |title=More trial, less error: An effort to improve scientific studies |author=Sharon Begley |date=August 14, 2012 |publisher=Reuters |accessdate=December 27, 2012}} 3. ^{{cite video |people=Jolie O'Dell |title=Science: the New "Women's Work" |medium=video |publisher=VentureBeat |date=3 December 2011 |url=https://venturebeat.com/2011/12/03/science-exchange/}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://business.financialpost.com/2011/12/07/mixrank-favo-rs-science-exchange-sprintly/ |title=MixRank, Favo.rs, Science Exchange, Sprintly |date=December 7, 2011|publisher=Financial Post |accessdate=December 27, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.xconomy.com/san-francisco/2012/11/29/science-exchange-creates-a-trading-post-for-research-services/ |title=Science Exchange Creates a Trading Post for Research Services |author=Bernadette Tansey |date=29 November 2012 |publisher=Xconomy |accessdate=17 December 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/biotech/2012/04/science-exchange-kauffman-foundation.html?page=all |title=One-on-One With Science Exchange's Elizabeth Iorns |author=Ron Leuty |date=27 April 2012 |publisher=San Francisco Business Times |accessdate=17 December 2012}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.fastcompany.com/1829497/dropping-some-science-scientists-ditch-academy-and-become-entrepreneurs |title=Dropping Some Science: Scientists, Ditch The Academy and Become Entrepreneurs |author=David Zax |date=3 April 2012 |publisher=Fast Company |accessdate=17 December 2012}} 8. ^{{cite thesis|degree=PhD|publisher=Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London)|url=https://copac.jisc.ac.uk/id/7932718?style=html|title=High Throughput Functional Analysis for the Identification of Breast Cancer Targets|first= Elizabeth Jane|last=Iorns|date=2008|id={{EThOS|uk.bl.ethos.504787}}|website=jisc.ac.uk|oclc=1006087506}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.expeditioninspiration.org/young_investigator_awards.php |title=Young Investigator Awards |author= |year=2011 |publisher=Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research |accessdate=17 December 2012}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=iorns |title=Search Results |author= |date= |publisher=PubMed.gov |accessdate=17 December 2012}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/14/us-science-replication-service-idUSBRE87D0HY20120814 |title=More trial, less error: An effort to improve scientific studies |author=Sharon Begley |date=August 14, 2012 |work= |publisher=Reuters |accessdate=December 27, 2012}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2012/08/reproducing_scientific_studies_a_good_housekeeping_seal_of_approval_.html |title=Good Scientist!
