Currently, I’m at Renaissance Philanthropy matchmaking ambitious founders with funders for new philanthropic initiatives. I’m also developing a philanthropic initiative for chronic pain–something I’ve lived with for many years. Previously, I started Artemis, a $35M philanthropic startup for new model organisms in research. Before that, I led drug discovery programs at Gordian, a SF biotech startup making cures for chronic diseases of aging. Before that, I spent ~4yrs working on in vivo CRISPR brain delivery and high content in vivo CRISPR screens in academia. I mostly write here.
