Dr. Kevin L. Gunderson is a biotechnology expert and consultant specializing in genomics, proteomics, single cell/spatial biology, and the underlying assay chemistries used in modern sequencing and molecular measurement platforms. He brings 30+ years of hands-on technology development experience, 50+ peer-reviewed publications, and 70+ patents/patent applications spanning genomic and proteomic assays, DNA sequencing, methylation, single cell analysis, surface chemistry, and nanofabrication. He was a founding scientist at Illumina and later served as Senior Director of Advanced Research, leading teams and programs that produced foundational innovations in genotyping and sequencing—including the Infinium platform (Illumina’s first billion-dollar product line), methylation and FFPE methods, targeted NGS enrichment, linked-read approaches, single-cell combinatorial indexing, and NGS-based patterned flowcell/ExAmp advances. Dr. Gunderson also co-founded Encodia and served as CTO, where ...

Computers, Cybersecurity - Computer Architecture;, Hardware-Software Co-Design, GPUs and Accelerators, Operating Systems, Program Analysis, Parallel Programming, Memory Systems, Hardware security, Trustworthy computing, Forensics, Performance Analysis, Genomics, ASIC Accelerators, Patent analysis, Infringement

I am a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan with expertise in computer architecture, hardware-software co-design, trustworthy computing, hardware security, parallel systems, compilers, GPUs, accelerators, memory systems, and genomics computing. My current work focuses on hardware-rooted security for agentic AI, parallel systems for genome sequencing, and generative AI techniques for producing efficient parallel code for modern accelerators. My research has been recognized with an NSF CAREER Award, best paper awards at ASPLOS and ISPASS, four IEEE MICRO Top Picks awards, and induction into the ISCA, ASPLOS, and PLDI Halls of Fame. My work has also had practical industry impact: my record-and-replay research helped shape tools such as Microsoft WinDbg’s iDNA and Intel PinPlay, which have been used for debugging, architectural simulation, and software development. I am an inventor on multiple issued U.S. patents, including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,561,...

Legal, DNA - Product Liability, Genetics, Genomics, Due Diligence, Intellectual Property, Life Sciences, Bioinformatics, Biotech, Mass Tort, Molecular Biology

I am a genetic legal expert with over a decade of experience at the intersection of cutting-edge biological research and complex litigation. With a Ph.D. in Genetics and Development from Columbia University and a legal career built on life sciences matters, I bring a uniquely integrated perspective that few attorneys can offer — the ability to deeply understand the science and translate it into effective legal strategy. My scientific background spans molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, DNA sequence analysis, and stem cell research. I conducted graduate research at Columbia University in collaboration with the New York Stem Cell Foundation and performed research on bacterial remediation of radioactive materials at Japan's National Institute of Radiological Sciences. I am further deepening my data-driven expertise through a Biomedical Informatics Certification from the McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics at UTHealth Houston. As both a scientist and a licensed attorney...
