Kyle is a quantitative cell biologist with a background in proteomics, next-generation sequencing, and CRISPR screening.

He finished his Ph.D in Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University with Mary Teruel where he studied the impacts of gene expression noise on signaling and metabolic pathways, and cellular decisions.

Outside of work, Kyle enjoys travel, the outdoors, and playing with his dog.
