Dear visitor,
I’m Jan, and I build tools for researchers.
My main work is on labspace.ai, a suite of tools that help researchers read and make connections across papers, ideate experiments, collect lab notes on the go, manage biobank data, write grants and more. Think of it like an operating system, lab manager, and second brain for the lab.

In my past, I’ve worked at large companies like Microsoft, startups like Ubiquiti, across large brands like Verizon, Coca Cola, L’Oreal, and Home Depot, tried (and failed) to start multiple startups.
Eventually, I “accidentally” built a community for phage therapy researchers, which saved many people’s lives, like Dhanvi, a seven-year-old girl from Sydney.
To date, this community, called Phage Directory, a social enterprise for crowd-sourcing phage therapy. Our efforts helped treat 5 patients, and led to an on-going clinical trial across Australia that has treated 16+ patients.
