I’m interested in molecular bits (the bases in a nucleic-acid sequence), molecular photography (capturing molecular structures and their locations in situ), & molecular videography (observing what molecules do, and how). My goal is to build platforms that advance molecular diagnostics, discovery, and therapy. I specialize in managing bits (the sequencing data and images), managing biomolecules (developing the assays), and managing photons & electrons (the light & electron microscopy that visualizes them). Lately, managing bits has increasingly meant orchestrating (& managing) neural networks with my biological insights. I think I am also good at managing people & relationships. In the age of artificial intelligence, I even more strongly commit myself to harnessing natural human-ness, so I place ever increasing emphasis on the management of people & relationships.
