Work has focused on continuing pathway development and scale-up, managing efforts across the organization, leading to a 7X reduction in production costs, scaling up from <1ml to multiple liters of reaction broth, and managing multiple stakeholders - both internally and externally.

Medford, MA

Work focused on proof of concept and development,resulting in several IP packages being awarded. Required extensive enzyme discovery and characterization with 96-well based purification/dialysis techniques, biochemical assay development, and supervising a team that grew to 3 additional FTEs. In this role I transitioned to a project manager after.

Medford, MA

Involved in several proof of concept projects, implementing new biochemical pathways in GreenLight's cell-free platform to produce a range of molecules from pharmaceutical small molecules to biofuels. Significant work with bioprospecting/enzyme discovery and characterization, biochemical pathway optimization, and enzymatic chemistry. Utilized UV/Vis.

Evanston, IL

Computational design of novel biosynthetic pathways for the production of novel small molecule compounds. Experimentally studied predicted promiscuous enzymatic reactions with high sensitivity GC/MS analytics to confirm or reject catalytic turnover.
