I am working with the TTML to develop organoid and culture in gastrointestinal and lung models. I have a varied research past covering adhesives (3M), and formulation and analytical testing of polymers (Evonik) before shifting to my graduate studies in programmed cell death and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). After some brief work in industry (RET fusion studies at Eli Lilly, IRAK1/4i IND enabling AML studies at Kurome, Clinical Trials project management at Medpace) I am excited to get back into the academic lab environment exploring mechanistic models and method development.

Fun Facts: I love to play sports of almost any type (kickball, football, basketball, soccer, broomball, volleyball). My meal preps are organized like my lab work in frozen aliquots. My wife Caroline works a few blocks away in the school of public health as a biostatistician studying flu, COVID, and RSV vaccine efficacy while also ballet dancing and playing violin in her free time. Our daughter, Rosalind (born in late 2021), is named after Rosalind Franklin.
