This is long overdue, but we would like to welcome Kristoff Poole, Wanjiku Gatua, Joey Cicchese, and Kody Petersen to the Bio::Neos team!

Kristoff has been a key member of the Bio::Neos team since May of this year. He currently serves as our Junior Business Development Assistant and has been instrumental in the progression of many business aspects of our team. He is currently pursuing an Entrepreneurial Management degree through the University of Iowa after spending 3 years traveling and living in southern Germany.

Wanjiku joined us as our new Business Development Assistant in early September following her graduation from Coe College in May with her Business Administration and Spanish double major. She is bringing experience from previous positions with the City of Dubuque and leadership experiences on campus and in the Cedar Rapids community.

Joey and Kody both joined our team in October as Junior Developers. Joey received his M.S.E. and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan and his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Iowa State University in 2015. He has extensive research experience and is interested in leveraging his skills to advance life sciences research.

Kody graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Informatics with a cognate in Human-Computer Interaction and a minor in Psychology from the University of Iowa. During his collegiate career he worked with information technology to explore the human condition and was able to learn more about how technology is an essential component of our everyday lives.

We are excited about the growth and development of our team. Everyone has already made valuable contributions to our team and projects and we look forward to more of their great work in the future!
