A small group of colleagues, including Tim, pioneered the field of systems biology to transform biology into an information science. The team started up a first-of-its-kind institution, the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). Tim’s lab launched the careers of students and employees who enjoy success in genetics, bioinformatics, engineering, software development, and artificial intelligence. He is a permanent Affiliate Professor of the ISB, a charter-school founder and director, and has driven innovation as a biotechnology executive and as an advisor to companies and the US National Academies.
I love exploring ways of thinking and doing, whether that is through science, technology, reading, travel, or DIY. It’s fun to import ideas into new domains to fill in the blanks, and it’s exciting to collaborate to make it happen. The outdoors charge me up, whether that’s motorcycling, fishing, a beach, or enjoying natural beauty far from home.
To create value, recombine the familiar and the foreign to get to new realities.
