NATIONAL SECURITY

Throughout my professional career there has been a national security component to the technology development efforts. My commitment to national biodefense and global biosecurity has fostered numerous relationships across government and the private sector in order to advance new technologies to support US and world health interests.

Biodefense & Biosecurity Experience

Biodefense and biothreat mobile detection systems for intelligence community (Nanogen / Vectrant)
Demonstrated proof-of-concept for APTIMA Rapid Response Molecular Detection Platform for biothreats (Gen-Probe > Hologic)
Infectious disease testing and vector control interventions for mosquito-borne diseases (Gen-Probe, St. Gabriel’s Hospital - Malawi, Intrexon, Oxitec)
Invasive species population control approaches (Intrexon, Oxitec)

Areas of ongoing effort to support global biosecurity and the national defense:

Biological and chemical threat detection systems
Medical countermeasures and next generation molecular vaccines
Biothreat measurement and signature intelligence
Engineered food animals and alternative protein sources for enhanced food security
Biotechnology for food production

MISSION: HEALTHY PEOPLE, HEALTHY PLANET THE PUBLIC GOOD
The public good is often measured by the impact of our investments in making people healthier, protecting our environment, and ensuring the safety and security of our communities.

MISSION
I am currently focused on advising technology startups and establishing new ventures that contribute to the public good, healthier people, and a healthier planet.

TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS
My life has been filled with learning from exceptional groups working at the intersection of biotechnology and health. For over 25 years I have been driven through my research and industry work to build and advance solutions for complex problems impacting health globally. Biotechnology innovation and new product development underpin some of the most impactful public health interventions in recent generations. My world view has been shaped by developing, deploying and evaluating technologies applicable to individual healthcare, global public health, and environmental health.

GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH
I’m dedicated to realizing a shared vision and planetary view that the biosecurity, health and well-being of humans, animals and ecosystems - is interconnected. 'One Health' is a term that describes this interconnectedness. 'Planetary Health' does the same, if not more so.

VISION
We can realize better lives now and for generations to come with technologies developed to intentionally address the public good and promote healthier people and a healthier planet.
