Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

I am an Economist by education, a Senior Finance Executive by occupation, a Strategist by instinct, and Optimist by upbringing. These personas are the foundation for my 20+ years of professional experience serving clients as a “Big 4” Accountant and creating accretive financial growth as a Chief Financial Officer. I love the “Aha!” moments – when the solution to a problem becomes crystal clear. My passion, expertise and business acumen consistently drive shareholder value, whether through complex modeling and deal negotiation, or developing future leaders of the organization. But actual experience has taught me that my professional values boil down to the following: • I have an extroverted approach to communication • I am a pragmatic visionary • I am not looking for the limelight; rather I’m looking to win as a team • I am the calm one that runs towards fires • I have fun and take pride in my work

Strand-seq: A single cell sequencing technology coming into its own

How advances in automation, single cell biology, and next-generation sequencing are finally unlocking the full promise of one of genomics' most powerful, and most underutilized, techniques. The problem with knowing half a genome You carry two copies of every chromosome, one from each parent, and those copies can differ in ways that matter enormously for disease risk and drug response. Assembling both copies end to end, and determining which variant came from which parent, is the true goal of per

Spatially resolved variant calling in cancer tissue

Direct In Sample Sequencing on AVITI24™ enables simultaneous cell typing and expressed variant detection within intact tissue sections. See how we used it to resolve mutation patterns and cell identity with spatial resolution in a single experiment. Cell identity, expressed variants, and spatial context in a single run Spatial biology has made remarkable progress over the last several years. Researchers can now profile gene expression across tissue sections with increasing resolution, map cell p

Reading a cell’s history: How RETrace2 and AVITI™ are rewriting lineage tracing

Researchers at Altos Labs have developed a new way to reconstruct the developmental history of cells and high accuracy homopolymer sequencing on AVITI helped make it possible. Every cell carries a history Every cell accumulates a record of its lineage with a unique combination of somatic mutations. These molecular marks can reveal which cells are related and which diverged long before they took on a specialized identity.
