Principal Scientist | R&D Strategy & Thought Leadership

PhD Scientist | Scientific Strategy for Startups | Bioinformatics | Grant Planning Are you a biotech or life science startup navigating your early stages? I specialize in helping emerging companies develop robust scientific strategies, plan experimental pipelines, and integrate bioinformatics into their R&D workflows. Whether you need help refining your vision, writing a grant, or translating data into action, I bring 13+ years of experience at the intersection of wet lab biology, computational science, and innovation leadership. ** What I Do for Startups: Build scalable R&D plans that align with commercial goals Design protein engineering, antibody, or metabolic workflows (wet or in silico) Help craft compelling grant proposals (NIH SBIR/STTR–funded experience) Offer hands-on bioinformatics support (NGS, structural modeling, transcriptomics) Guide data-driven decision-making in early-stage scientific programs **Credentials & Highlights: Ph.D. in Biochemistry with 13+ years of biotech experience Former CSO of an acquired cannabinoid biotech startup Led full-stack strain engineering and molecular assay design Multiple patents and NIH-funded SBIR grants awarded Expert in Python, R, NGS pipelines, AlphaFold, AWS, Docker I’m here to support visionary biotech founders with the scientific clarity, tools, and execution they need to grow. Let’s connect and explore how I can help bring your scientific vision to life. All conversations are confidential, and I’m happy to provide NDA templates for your peace of mind. Any intellectual property developed is 100% yours. This is a passion project for me — I genuinely enjoy collaborating with founders and diving into science.
