Driven by science and a need to make an impact through medicine, Nelson bridged the two passions and became a clinical laboratory scientist six years ago. Nelson’s expertise in the clinical lab spans across pathologies to various testing platforms. He is excited to venture into the realm of neurocognitive pathology and believes Amprion’s technology will set the stage for diagnostics of neurological diseases.
Aside from being in the lab, Nelson is a coffee fanatic! Ask him to brew you a cup, and he will tell you everything about this wonderful and potent elixir.
