Experience: Bacterial genetics, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry

Credentials: Yale Blavatnik Associate, Norman H. Horowitz Fellowship, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Mentor/Mentee Fellowship 

Key Biotechnology: Mycelia-based meat. This type of tech leverages the morphology of mycelia to give meat alternatives a fibrous structure. It's also amenable to genetic and other manipulation to create new flavor and texture properties. It's my favorite combination of microbial cell biology, microbial genetics, and food tech!

Differentiators: I'm excited to work at Vireo Advisors and Helikon Consulting! By understanding the safety/regulatory and technical considerations, I aim to develop Key Biotechnology into how frontier food tech can move forward in a safe, sustainable, and timely way.
