Livermore, Ca

My work has focused on reducing the costs of gene synthesis by improving the biochemistry and by streamlining the manufacturing process. To exploit these developments, my company Aster sells a custom gene synthesis service to make cloned DNA sequences with lengths in the 1 kb to 30 kb range, at highly competitive prices. The company also sells gene modification services, including combinatorial gene assembly, site-directed mutagenesis, and site-saturation mutagenesis.

Alameda, Ca

Polymorphic provided DNA sequencing and genotyping services to researchers. We developed novel amplicon sequencing technology.

Alameda, California

Operon provided custom DNA, custom gene synthesis, microarrays, modifications, and purification services to biotechnology researchers. I invented and commercialized the company’s oligonucleotide synthesis and gene synthesis technologies.

Berkeley, Ca

I worked in the laboratory of Dr. Bruce Ames on the role of oxidative DNA damage on cancer and aging.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Medical Biophysics, Outstanding

I worked in the laboratory of Dr, Michael C. Archer on the reactions of nitrate and nitrite ions in vivo, and the possible role of those.

Bachelor’S Degree, Physics

Activities and Societies: I was the recipient of the Sir Isaac Newton Physics ScholarshipI worked as an undergrad for Dr. M. Pintar.
