Biomedical engineer, CRISPR delivery scientist

Postdoc at UC Berkeley / Innovative Genomics Institute | Inventor at Editpep

I translate CRISPR delivery research into platforms that can become therapeutics.

If you are building in gene editing, I’m easy to reach here.

My Work

About

I’m a biomedical engineer focused on in vivo delivery of genome editing effectors, especially CRISPR ribonucleoproteins. Delivery is often the bottleneck between a promising editor and a viable therapy, so I build modular, non-viral strategies that solve the in vivo last-mile problem: getting editors to the right cells at useful levels. I developed PERCEPT, a reversible, traceless conjugation platform for installing targeting ligands onto clinically relevant editors, and it has enabled robust editing in the CNS, retina, lung epithelium and skeletal muscle.
