Bellevue, Washington, United States

Charged with evaluation/triage of novel technology prospects, estimating resources and staffing requirements for development, guiding lab efforts and inventing solutions in a hands-on research environment. Conceived and led the novel scientific approach for a milk quality diagnostic assay for low resource settings including executed enabling experiments and coordinated ongoing development efforts of 3 - 5 scientists. Identified suitable commercial development partner. Developed extensive contacts within the stakeholder community down to the farmgate level and effectively communicated business opportunity and stakeholder needs to primary funders within the Gates ecosystem. Expanded on the patented approach to utilizing Cas enzymes as tools for low-cost nucleic acid diagnostic assays. Coaching and scientific review of junior staff scientists to solve myriad technical difficulties related to nanoparticle synthesis, conjugation chemistry, reagent purification and practical formatting. Continued to conceive of novel expansions of core patented estate. (See Patent 11,608,519 below)Primary technical review of novel diagnostic efforts in human health, including maternal iron levels, vitamin fortification of cooking oils and universal optical readers for lateral flow (rapid diagnostic tests assays.

Scientist responsible for generating new ideas to spawn new companies, evaluating the prospects of third-party technology and professionalizing the daily activities of a cross-functional laboratory of scientists and engineers. Conceived of novel approach to using de novo engineered proteins as cattle feed additive to mitigate fungal toxin (aflatoxin) exposure in humans. Developed scientific strategy and built a multiyear research effort between the Global Good fund, UW (HHMI) Professor D. Baker’s lab and a commercial agricultural company. Developed a highly effective procedure for determining the cesium content of liquid sodium samples to support TerraPower, a nuclear innovation company. Reviewed safety protocols and prepared SOPs for the handling of highly reactive molten sodium in the research setting. Developed and published a stable, alternative meal for site-reared mosquitoes in conjunction with the Eliminate Dengue campaign. Collaborated and published new approaches to rapid diagnostic test development by utilizing computational modeling and liquid handling workstations.Provided safety evaluations to enable the development of dried coffee pulp for human consumption, now sold as Coffee Flour by the Coffee Cherry Co.

Redmond, Wa

Reviewed 3rd party chemical processing requests and provided time, labor and technical estimates to support manufacturing bids. Led research efforts, prepared batch records and supervised production teams for kilo lab and pilot scale production under both ISO and cGMP guidelines. Technical lead and business development support for the use of Buchwald catalysts, a core capability of the Lanxess chemical division. Developed pilot scale procedures for various Buchwald ligands at the multi-kilogram scale for the pharmaceutical industry, developed key trade secrets to allow for the highest purity manufacture.Prepared a 15kg batch of API following transfer of procedure from competitor, doubled the yield and reduced processing times 10-fold.Used DOE (design of experiments) to develop lab scale model which refined an ISO fine chemical distillation process for parent company, significantly improving ongoing sales margins.
