I am a co-founder and the executive director of Panoplia Laboratories, a new nonprofit organization conducting early-stage research for the development of broad-spectrum medical countermeasures. Previously, I was Head of R&D at Alvea, where I led a team of scientists developing vaccines against COVID-19 and influenza. I have a PhD in organic chemistry from UC Berkeley and conducted a postdoc in synthetic biology with Kevin Esvelt at the MIT Media Lab.
