Founder/CEO
I have a PhD in microbiology & immunology from the University of Michigan, where I enjoyed my research untangling complex and elegant webs of bacterial gene regulation. I did my undergrad at UC Berkeley, where I double-majored in immunology and classical art & archaeology. Prior to starting ZBiotics in 2016 and inventing our proprietary technology, I worked in clinical trial design as well as researching HIV vaccines and pursuing novel antibiotics in both academia and industry.
