Cell Systems Logic LLC
Driving superior bioengineering outcomes with systems biology
About Us

I provide strategic advising and technical services in systems biology, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing. As the former Head of Systems Biology at Ginkgo Bioworks, I leverage deep platform experience to help clients identify business opportunities, refine project strategy, and bridge the gap between planning and technical execution.
I partner across the biotech ecosystemโfrom startups and academic labs to mid-sized and large-scale enterprises. While I operate independently, I am a firm believer in “team science” and offer flexible engagement models to fit your workflow.
Explore my services below, and please reach out directly to discuss your specific needs. I look forward to building something together.
