A Nature Patterns Explorer

I spent nearly 15 years in the lab—starting from reductionist cause-and-effect mechanisms, then progressing to tissues, organisms, and eventually entire ecosystems. When I moved to industry and transferred these skills to business and organizations, I realized: it's all about systems.

In tumor immunology, I studied signal transduction—how individual cells interact with their tissue environment. In wound healing research, I explored how cells communicate through gap junctions. In the Atacama Desert, I investigated how individual entities from different species interact to create complex microcosms, revealed through microscopy and sequencing of fragmented genomic data.

The next decade brought a different experimentation room: commercial biotech at Bio-Rad, Bio-Techne, and Revvity. Same question, different systems. Markets operate on signals, noise, communication channels, and the people engaging with mechanisms that determine which products emerge and which ones die.

"Pattern recognition ability doesn't change. The substrate does."

Bioicus Lab helps life sciences companies see the terrain before they commit—analyzing market environment, competitive signals, and how key players communicate with the same scientific rigor applied to biological systems.

Why Bioicus Lab

The name is intentional.

Life sciences companies need strategic intelligence during critical phases—R&D prioritization, market entry, portfolio decisions—without the cost of full-time hires. Bioicus Lab delivers fractional Product Management leadership powered by proprietary analytics, matching the biological rhythm of R&D cycles rather than forcing constant overhead.

Why "Bioicus"?

From Greek: bio (life) + Latin: -icus (connected to, belonging to). Everything I do is connected to life sciences—the patterns I find, the decisions I inform, the products I help build.

"Lab" reflects the approach: a laboratory of ideas where products and frameworks are continuously developed rather than limiting work to time-dependent consulting. Product BioRhythm and SeqTrend are tools built from patterns observed across 25 years reading biological and market systems.
