Colleagues describe him as "I highly recommend David as a mentor and leader. David is a skilled scientist and gifted teacher. I had the pleasure of working for David at Absci as he led a team in generating and validating a deep learning codon optimization model for tunable protein expression. Not only did he do an excellent job managing this project, but he also took every opportunity to mentor those he led. He is undoubtedly one of the best mentors I have ever had in my professional career. David was my first choice whenever I was seeking help or guidance because of his approachability and vast molecular biology expertise. He encouraged me to ask questions and would always take the time to answer them with excitement. His passion for scientific discovery and problem solving was felt throughout our whole team. He would ask me thoughtful questions not only to make sure I understood the reasoning behind our experiments but also to help me think critically about troubleshooting and results. David empowered myself and others by teaching and encouraging this critical thinking approach, which led to better collaboration and a more successful project overall. He also understands that mistakes are a part of the learning process and would give me constructive feedback when necessary. David is a team player. He saw every member of the team as an asset no matter one’s title. I truly felt that he cared for my success. With David’s mentorship I was able to improve my hard lab skills and became a more confident and independent scientist. I know many others from our team feel the same. Mentorship is one of David’s many strengths. Any scientific team would be lucky to have him." and "I had the honor of being a part of the IT team while David was a Scientist on the Next Generation Sequencing team at Absci. As part of my role in IT, I collaborated closely with David and his team to ensure they had the necessary resources and support to excel in their work. One of the things that stood out to me about David was his strong work ethic and dedication to his team. He was always willing to go the extra mile to support his teammates and contribute to the success of the project. He was also an active participant in team meetings and town halls, asking thoughtful questions and providing valuable insights. Beyond his professional skills, I also had the pleasure of bonding with David over our shared love of mountain biking. He is a true enthusiast, and it was always a pleasure to chat with him about our latest adventures on the trails. In summary, David is a talented and dedicated professional who is a valuable asset to any team. He is not only skilled in his field but also a great collaborator and team player. I highly recommend him to any company looking for a top-notch scientist."
