President and CEO
As President & CEO, Eric has established Protein Metrics as a leader in protein characterization providing best-in-class products to industry and academia. Before joining Protein Metrics, Eric was a co-founder and senior vice president of Freeslate and spent 12 years at Symyx Technologies. The experience of a career working to streamline and revolutionize R&D processes has carried over into his present role. Eric has repeatedly created teams that develop tools focused on usability and efficiency, shortening development timelines, and making scientists more impactful in their organizations.
He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NC State University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. He is also an inventor of 38 published patents and is the lead author on a chapter on automation for stress testing studies in “Pharmaceutical Stress Testing: Predicting Drug Degradation,” 2nd Edition (Informa, 2011). He is also co-author on a wide variety of papers showing new developments in the biopharmaceutical industry.
When he’s not working at Protein Metrics, Eric can be found outside enjoying sunny California weather with his family: running, hiking, swimming, and skiing at Lake Tahoe.
Vice President of Research and Co-Founder
Marshall Bern is an obsessive problem solver, starting with chess and bridge in high school and college, and later in scientific pursuits including signal and image processing, combinatorial optimization, computational geometry, and bioinformatics. His particular passion is algorithm design and analysis.
Prior to Protein Metrics, Marshall was a Principal Scientist, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where he invented groundbreaking algorithms for origami design, finite-element mesh generation, and surface reconstruction from scanned point sets. He has about 20 patents and about 200 peer-reviewed publications in leading computer science, mathematics, and chemistry journals.
Marshall received a B.A. in mathematics from Yale, M.A. in applied mathematics and statistics from University of Texas at Austin, and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.
When he’s not inventing algorithms, Marshall grows unusual plants and enjoys travel with his family.
Vice President of Architecture and Co-Founder
Yong’s passions for scientific visualization and massive data analysis inspired him to co-found Protein Metrics.
With a keen understanding of proteomics and mass spectrometry, he works tirelessly to create consumer-like software interfaces within the industrial software engineering experience.
Yong received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Davis.
When he’s not glued to his computer screen, Yong can be found hiking, rock climbing, or hitting the slopes.
Vice President of Engineering
Mojgan has joined Protein Metrics in June 2021 as the Vice President of Engineering.
Prior to joining Protein Metrics, Mojgan has held leadership positions of Software and Bioinformatics teams at Corin Group, Talis Biomedical, HealthTell, and Monogram Biosciences (a LabCorp company).
