Nikesh Kotecha, PhD

Dr. Kotecha has worked in multiple roles in the life sciences and informatics arena. His interests are in developing informatics approaches for using molecular technologies in translational research. The Cytobank project grew out of his focus in Dr. Garry Nolan’s lab at Stanford University on infrastructure and analysis methods for signaling based flow cytometry assays. Dr. Kotecha used them in his work towards developing a diagnostic for juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (Cancer Cell 2008, cover). Dr. Kotecha’s past experiences include work at TIBCO Spotfire Inc. and Wyeth Ayerst Inc. on developing and presenting software applications for visualization and analysis of various biomedical technologies across the drug development pipeline. He has worked in multiple roles and departments including engineering, technical sales and business development. He received his PhD in Biomedical Informatics from Stanford University and his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University.
