Recommendations

I highly recommend Larry for consulting opportunities that require deep technical expertise and extensive experience in reagent development and quality control… His contributions were pivotal to our success, and his technical knowledge and development acumen are truly exceptional… Larry's expertise in reagent chemistry, assay development, and analytical chemistry is unmatched. He played a crucial role in reconfiguring our reagent kits, significantly improving the user experience by simplifying workflows, which in turn enabled automation with minimal customer intervention. His deep understanding of component interactions led to optimized reagent formulations that not only extended shelf-life but also enhanced product reliability. Larry's work in implementing orthogonal assays for key reagent components was instrumental in ensuring platform-independent validation of reagent stability and compatibility. His strategic approach to reagent development directly contributed to our company's ability to innovate and maintain a competitive edge. Larry's combination of technical knowledge, hands-on experience in development activities, and his commitment to quality control make him an invaluable asset to any organization seeking expert consulting in reagent development and related fields.

Larry is one of the most driven people I have ever known. But that drive does not come from ego or ambition, but rather a strong desire to do the right and sometimes difficult thing. Very often, Larry would carry the teams over the finish line when it was very clear that we had been set upon an impossible task. And he did so without the fanfare or credit he deserved. He is the kind of person that can be taken at face value, and cares about developing a strong working relationship with his peers and building confidence in those that work for him. I will continue to value his mentorship and friendship for many years to come.

Larry embodies multidisciplinary skills and knowledge far in excess of anyone I have encountered in the Life Sciences over the last 20 years. In addition to deep, first principles knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and engineering and the technology platforms used in these disciplines, Larry embodies unparalleled drive and inventiveness to forge these many disciplines into inventions and commercial products. In his career, he has made a large number of significant contributions to the Life Sciences, both in product development and, critically, in critiquing and developing a wide spectrum of technology strategies. His broad and deep knowledge, and unique, open-minded way of approaching complex problems have been of incomparable help to me over the years of our partnership. Another of Larry’s strengths is the combination of his encyclopedic knowledge of the Life Sciences and the related IP landscapes, an extremely unique faculty when assessing both the science and technology of opportunities and their business risks. 

Above all, Larry has stunning energies and work ethic coupled to uniquely high integrity, which have served to make him the one of the most productive Life Sciences technology leaders in my personal experience.

Larry brings decades of deep experience in both the clinical and biotechnology fields. His expertise is one of the deepest and broadest I have seen in the industry, spanning many different areas, from biology to assay design and instrumentation. He has the unique ability to quickly understand, evaluate, and clearly communicate how a set of complex technologies can be combined to solve a specific problem, whether a new assay or detection technology, and point out its benefits and challenges. This, combined with Larry's encyclopedic knowledge and typical depth of analysis has made him a very valuable partner to business development professionals in evaluating technologies and business development opportunities.
