Biography
Dr. Douglass has training in physical and organic chemistry, immunology and computational biology. In his undergraduate work (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) he worked with physicists and chemists and published first and second author publications in medical-diagnostics and photovoltaics, respectively. During his doctoral work (Yale University) he designed, synthesized and tested small-molecule immunotherapies and fluorescent sensors. In addition, he derived a closed form solution for a drug-kinetics problem that had remained unsolved for 70 years. As a postdoctoral researcher, he helped build drug-screening and RNA-sequencing infrastructure that supported several clinical trials at Columbia University.
