Bio
Richard Allman
I met Aviv almost 5 years ago when he joined the science team at Genetic Technologies. During that time he was enlisted to contribute to multiple projects within the company. In particular the statistical analysis of complex epidemiologic data for the development of predictive risk models. This followed a rapid learning curve in complex analytical methods. Under a lean working environment he also stepped in to facilitate the validation and verification of new NGS platforms to the lab environment. He performed all of these tasks with great flexibility and conscientiousness. A quiet achiever who is a pleasure to work with, he is a great asset to any team.
Allan Sheffield
Aviv is a extremely diligent, enthusiastic and motivated team member. He brought significant value to translating research into the clinic at myDNA. He evaluated hundreds of scientific papers in the areas of nutrition and wellness. A great asset to any team. I would highly recommend him.
