He is a member of the Personalized Medicine Coalition, International Society for Computational Biology, and is a Y Combinator Alum.
Immunotherapy Showcase: Cofactor Genomics
Cofactor leverages the power of RNA to model disease.
Application of Immune-specific Health Expression Models
Cofactor leverages our database of Health Expression Models (HEMs) to provide advanced insights into disease. Using HEMs specific to immune cell populations, we deliver tumor microenvironment characterization with improved precision and accuracy.
