Andrew Paterson

Founder/CTO

I'm a scientist and engineer at heart. I love any and all things science from fundamental physics to chemistry and materials science to biology. My passion in life is to help drive scientific and technological progress by shepherding innovative technologies based on hard science and engineering out of the R&D lab and onto the commercial marketplace. I have 12+ years of experience working at the intersection of biology, chemistry, nanotech, hardware, and software.
