Medicine ∧ Machine Intelligence
I build computational systems for biology and medicine because useful work is a moral duty: seek truth, act at leverage, and make care reach farther.

01About
My path has been shaped by a deep desire to be a force for good in the world, and to go where I'm needed. That desire has taken different forms: farm work that taught work ethic and pragmatism, missionary service that widened my sense of duty, rugby that taught trust inside high-performance teams, medicine that brought me close to suffering, and machine learning that showed me a way to scale care. Eventually, it led me to step away from the surgical career I had spent years working toward and build at the edge of biology and computation. Read the long version →
02Now
Galen builds virtual-cell models for organizations deciding what biological change to pursue next. The long arc is to make biology programmable: move from maps to models to design, keep computation answerable to experiment, and turn insight into deliberate biological change.
03Reach out if
You are building at the edge of biology and computation: computational biology, ML systems, scientific software, physician-engineering, or the kind of frontier work where moral duty, courage of conviction, and technical depth equally matter.
