Victor Holmes
Victor is Chief of Staff at E11 Bio, where he supports scientific and operational clarity across the organization. A biochemist and environmental engineer by training, Victor spent 16 years at the leading synthetic biology company Amyris, leading cross-functional teams to commercial success. He helped scale research programs and managed the 60-person biology department. His experience as a project manager on two multi-million-dollar DARPA-funded infrastructure programs and his experience developing a high-throughput DNA assembly pipeline and a next-generation sequencing pipeline should help E11 turn their cutting-edge staining and assembly technology into an robust imagining pipeline that will get across the connectome finish line
When not adjusting Gantt charts, smoothing interpersonal wrinkles, or mentoring the next generation of scientists, Victor enjoys biking, singing, and juggling, alone and in some combinations.
