Staff Scientist
Personal Genome Diagnostics
I earned my Master of Science in Biotechnology and Biomedical at the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Upon graduation, I worked in the lab of George M Church at Harvard Medical School Department of Genetics developing multiplex DNA sequencing and a 96-plex DNA synthesizer. Upon leaving his lab, I was co-founder of Gamera Bioscience where I invented the concept of centrifugal microfluidics. Subsequent roles spanned multiplex assay development across multiple nucleic acid and protein platforms, including establishing a cGMP manufacturing facility in support of a 3x24-2plex qPCR assay panel for prediction of antibiotic resistance in 5 gram-negative bacteria. My role at PGDx isas brought me back to my roots in genomic sequencing, where I am focused on developing a minimal residual disease on the Ultima UG 100 ultrasensitive sequencing platform.
