We founded Zipline to build a new kind of logistics for the planet. Today, Zipline delivers 70% of the national blood supply of Rwanda outside of Kigali using autonomous aircraft. Our ultimate goal is to put each human on the planet within a 15–30 minute delivery of any essential medical product they need, no matter where they live. Zipline's customers are governments, pharmaceutical companies, and large logistics networks. We are a team of about 200 engineers and operators, with our headquarters in the Bay Area. We are funded by some of the top investors in the world, including Sequoia Capital, Andreesen Horowitz, Google Ventures, and Stanford University.

Built molecular automata (DNA computers) that can be manufactured by human cells and can perform calculations based on gene expression on a cell by cell basis. Published the research in Nature Biotechnology, becoming one of the youngest first authors in that publication's history.

Built computers made of RNA and DNA that can operate within mammalian cells to measure gene transcription and diagnose pathological cells
