About
Filippo Galbo
Clinical scientist, molecular technologist, software builder, and RECOMBINASE artist based in Denver.
Clinical science
and software.
I build tools for the parts of laboratory work that are slow, hard to review, or easy to get wrong. Current projects include desktop automation, NGS planning, sequence analysis, molecular modeling, and local AI.
My laboratory experience includes clinical genomics, molecular pathology, assay validation, high-throughput testing, SOPs, and technologist training.
I make music and visual work as RECOMBINASE, and I build some of the software I use to make it.
