Bio
Working on foundation models for RNA therapeutics. I was an early employee at Valence Discovery, a biotech startup that spun out from Mila. I led product and strategy. Valence was acquired by Recursion (NASDAQ: RXRX) in May 2023. I stayed on afterwards to help build out the AI research engine of Recursion called Valence Labs.
