Drea Burbank

I'm an MD-technologist and serial entrepreneur applying high-tech in critical sectors.

My recent projects include New Space, behavioral design, civ-tech and smart cities, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity, near-infrared spectroscopy, functional MRI, stem-cells and tissue-engineering, vascular composite allograft, 3D printing, virtual reality, blockchain, specialist networks, nanotechnology, voice-recognition software, microbiome sequencing, web/app product design, business strategy, startup strategy, social enterprise, popular science writing, and marketing. In global health I develop high-tech for low-resource environments.

My career interest is in using technology to promote population health. I am industry-agnostic to this aim and passionate about reducing barriers to innovation at the intersection of research, technology, and medicine.

To quote Karen Kilroy "I can't help but wonder how much further technology could go if we solved things for people who had the biggest problems first — and then made games."
