About Mike

Mike is Head of Presales here at Automata, having been with the company since 2022. He’s based in our US office, and his experience in life science makes him the perfect person to ensure customers in the US and beyond have the best solution to fit their needs. 

He’s a self-confessed molecular biologist turned roboticist with over 10 years of experience in the field of liquid handling and robotics with a specialism in genomics, NGS and molecular oncology. 

After graduating from Hofstra University with a degree in Biology, Mike went on to gain a Masters in Molecular Biology and has held several in-lab roles, notably working in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre and BioReference Laboratories. He continued to work in-sector with Tecan, Opentrons Labworks, and now Automata. 

When he’s not immersed in the world of science, Mike is an avid craftsman and can always be found building – sometimes in his woodshop, or sometimes just Lego with his family.

The most exciting part of working at Automata is…

…being able to use my experience in labs to understand and troubleshoot some major bottlenecks and barriers to success for our clients
