Provide technical and strategic consulting for translational research and molecular diagnostic development.

Proposed and managed company transition to market genomics instrumentation, which attracted top management team to BioTrove, generated millions in sales, rapid double digit sales growth, and commercialization partnership with market leader LifeTechnologies. Efficiently led a multidisciplinary team in the research and development of the OpenArray, a novel slide-sized nanofluidic plate for high-throughput PCR. Derived core algorithms required by the current instrument software, including thermal cycling, cycle threshold calling, cluster analysis and quality metrics. Co authored molecular diagnostic market plan for S1 filing. Secured grant funding to develop next generation diagnostic platform.

Led four member team in exploring new methods for generating and screening genetic diversity. Developed two biodiversity methodologies used in several critical product developments. Methods led to creation of heat stable phytase and detergent stable protease. Evaluation of intellectual property space and submission of multiple patent applications. As part of a matrix organization, was a member of newly initiated protein and strain engineering projects.
