I lead cross-functional, product-centric teams across data science, engineering, biology and chemistry. We develop new tools that make sure that the 70+ terabytes (that’s A LOT) of diverse experimental data generated every week turns into actionable insights for our drug discovery teams:- New, actionable analysis. We build data science tools that automatically identify new drug candidates from our automated experimental platform, simultaneously quantifying unwanted off-target effects (e.g. "toxicity")- Novel biological tools, for use at scale. We develop biological systems to model diseases and probe at biological relationships. Collectively, this work enables hundreds of thousand of "mini-experiments" per week. - Deep learning models. We develop and productionalize machine learning models that make predictions about potential new drugs, to automatically evaluate millions of microscopy images every week. - Data reliability and relatability. We ensure that all biology and chemistry experiments at the company are stored in relatable and accessible formats for future analysis and machine learning.

Now: Editor Emeriti, an honorary position in recognition of importance to HardwareX's founding-- I conceptualized and pitched this journal to Elsevier, its current host. HardwareX is an open access journal established to promote free and open source designing, building, and customizing of scientific infrastructure (hardware).

Enlitic is a healthtech startup that uses deep learning to help doctors make better decisions, faster. The company focuses on radiology image analytics. As COO, I led product development, daily operations, and sealed our first AI partnership with a leading pharmaceutical company (one of the earliest such deals in the industry).

One of my major efforts was on a $25M initiative to develop best practices for spinning out university tech innovations that will benefit society in California, the U.S., and internationally. The core of this work was support programming and analysis of a core portfolio of 90 tech initiatives across 30 countries.

Technology development and field testing of CellScope, a medical device that turns the camera of a mobile phone into a high-quality microscope for automated disease diagnosis. A major milestone was a successful 1 year in-clinic device trial across 2 dozen hospitals and point-of-care locations in Hanoi Province, in collaboration with the Vietnam National Tuberculosis Program and the University of California San Francisco. http://cellscope.berkeley.edu/

I founded this open science initiative for improving access to science lab equipment worldwide.We create easy-to-follow, quality tested do-it-yourself blueprints for building standard lab equipment using locally available supplies.Sample community initiative: a international 3D printing competition, PrintMyLab.Featured in: The White House Office of Science and Technology blog; Make Magazine, Nature, Engineering for Change.
