Madison Area Care for the Homeless (MACH) OneHealthaka MACH OneHealth, MACH1Health, MACH, MACH1VISIONIndividuals experiencing housing insecurity have equitable housing and healthcareMISSIONTo bridge gaps in the Madison area healthcare system by connecting with people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity with compassion and respect.BACKGROUNDPLANWe offer four services; a community health needs assessment, foot care clinic, care connections, and street medicine outreach. Our goal is determine the ongoing needs and barriers to care for our target population and co-create adaptive services based on the identified needs and barriers. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit as of October 2017.Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Asset MappingWe are surveying the health care needs and barriers of over 120 housing insecure individuals.

GoodPoint took a backseat to MACH OneHealth in fall of 2019 and then went into an indefinite hibernation when the pandemic hit in early 2020. GoodPoint is a win+win app that amplifies wellbeing by connecting the value of human relationships to a gift marketplace. Over 7000 GoodPoints were recorded by more than 750 users, generating up to $55,000 of market value.

As of October, WHOA! has been paused due to the increased demands of MACH OneHealth and then the COVID pandemic, which significantly challenges our model for social change: building relationships through innovative social experiences. Re-ignite date unknown. WHOA! (We Help One Another) is a cooperative non-profit organized to elevate human wellbeing by designing awe-inspiring social experiences.

I studied how transcriptional regulatory networks govern cell states. I designed artificial transcription factors to activate silent genes critical for reprogramming cells. I was among the first to target and robustly activate native gene in the human genome. This work in targeting and activating master regulators of a system led me to explore and apply this systems transformation logic to other human systems.

I studied stem cells in a variety of animal models organisms from the simplest, Trichoplax Adhaerens, to humans. I explored the transcription factors, epigenetics, and media conditions that govern the pluripotent, self-renewing phenotype of pluripotent stem cells. My work led to authorship based on our development of the gold standard chemically defined media, E8, which facilitates better cellular reprogramming efficiency and self-renewal. I was also acknowledged in one Cell Stem Cell peer reviewed article on epigenetic marks that are characteristic of human pluripotent stem cells.
