Our Team

Alok has 15 years of experience as a scientist and 12 as a serial entrepreneur. After completing postdoctoral work at Harvard University with George Whitesides, Alok started two pharma SaaS companies, PreScouter and TetraScience, which employ several hundred people combined and have more than four hundred customers. He also launched and led the life sciences division of Egnyte, a cloud content governance company based in California, and grew the business to a 60-person team and eight-figure run rate.

Alok founded Vibe Bio after his daughter was hospitalized at birth and he learned first-hand that the biggest obstacle to developing treatments isn’t finding potential therapies — it’s funding them. Vibe Bio is helping patients in similar situations overcome that obstacle by scaling the development of treatments for rare disorders sustainably for the first time. He holds a B.S. from Cornell and a Ph.D. from Northwestern, both in Materials Science & Engineering.

Kristen is responsible for the day-to-day functions of Vibe Bio as the Manager of Operations. She is a scientist with over 15 years of experience overseeing and managing chemistry and microbiology laboratories. She holds a B.S. in Chemistry & Oceanography from Old Dominion University and a Master of Marine Resources Management from Texas A&M.

He and his son have been passionate about the inclusiveness of online gaming for people of all abilities. Chris helped build and engage his son's community, as well as the community for COPE. His background in the nonprofit space, advocating for those who didn't have the voice to advocate for themselves, and in the online world has made for a natural progression when he joined the Vibe Bio team.
