I'm a physician-scientist, founder, and investor in California.

I'm an assistant professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery and biomedical informatics at the University of California, San Francisco. I was previously an investor with Bessemer Venture Partners, focusing on computational biology and therapeutics investments, and co-founder of Memora Health, an enterprise digital care navigation company, which was acquired by Commure.

My work focuses on:

1. Applying computational clinical genomics and machine learning to identify and improve therapeutics and treatment protocols in craniomaxillofacial surgery and cancer.
2. Modernizing regulatory and payment policy to ensure novel therapeutics, digital health, and clinical artificial intelligence reach the bedside.

I trained in medicine, biomedical informatics, and surgery at Harvard and UCSF. My graduate work focused on developing benchmarks for reinforcement learning in precision oncology (NeurIPS 2019) and identifying genomic correlates of response to immunotherapy in head and neck cancer (AACR 2020).

I write about medicine, health policy, and economics, including for the Financial Times, Washington Post, and POLITICO. I previously covered healthcare corporate strategy and M&A for companies like UnitedHealthcare, CVS Health, Oscar Health, and Amazon.

I angel invest. You can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn, or reach me by email.
