This is intended to be a space to collect longer form essays, one-pagers, and notes as I write them. This is my personal writing and should not be taken to represent the views of any organization with whom I work.

About me:

I am a Biotechnology Fellow at the Institute for Progress, where I work on biosecurity and biotechnology policy. I also do biosecurity strategy and special projects work for BlueDot Impact.

Previously, I co-founded LincSwitch Therapeutics, a lncRNA epigenetic editing company. Before that, I was a Principal at The SALT Fund, investing in biology and deep tech startups. I have a B.S. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale.

This is for long-form essays, one-pagers, and working notes with my thoughts on various topics. I often write about biosecurity, AI, and molecular biology.
