I co-founded Sentinel Bio with Claire Qureshi; we're working to make pandemics history within our lifetimes, starting with safeguarding advanced biotechnology. We've made a lot of progress, but have many more wins ahead than behind us.
I previously led the biosecurity grantmaking at a philanthropic advisory and held various short-term research positions at Oxford, Yale, and Georgetown.
I've co-authored academic articles with some incredible people on topics including biosecurity, ethics, and epidemiology. We have published this work in journals like Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature Communications; other academics have cited it a couple of thousand times. I've also served sporadically as a peer reviewer with various journals, including the Lancet, the Journal of Medical Ethics, and npj Vaccines.
I obtained my M.Sc in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the London School of Economics, and my B.A. from Yale University.
I've lived in five countries over the last decade, and am currently in Amsterdam. Here, I coach a basketball team in the women's regional 5th division, cycle everywhere, and frequent a local meditation sangha.
