I am a life sciences entrepreneur and engineer working at the crossroads of synthetic biology, machine learning, and biotech.
Since childhood, I have been mesmerized by modern life sciences, building a strong foundation in physics, chemistry, and molecular biology.
In academia, I applied my analytical skills to machine learning and industrial
control engineering. During my B.Sc., I fell in love with synthetic biology and genetic engineering. Since then, I've focused on applying classical engineering and data science to design novel biological systems.
With a fresh M.Sc., I co-founded a deep-tech startup, a biotech company focused on revolutionizing single-cell measurement for healthcare and drug development. As the founding member and leader of the engineering team, my research has encompassed:
-Genetic engineering of yeast and bacteria, fine-tuning a multitude of cellular functions to comprise a functional particle, from nucleus to cell wall. -De-novo protein engineering, from design using computational tools, through purification to characterization in the lab. -Applying LLMs and other ML tools to large-scale databases to enable molecular biological innovation. -Designing multicellular networks based on reinforcement learning and other data-driven approaches. -Discovery of biologic activators, inhibitors, and effectors of GPCRs using an in-house pipeline. -Collection of single-cell NGS data, curation, and processing with various machine learning algorithms. -Establishing robust fermentation and pilot-scale manufacturing for genetically engineered microbes.
In every project, I strive to use my broad interdisciplinary intuition and put my natural inclination towards mathematics and algorithms to good use.
