Brian Gilman
Brian Gilman started his first company TEOSCO at the age of 13, generating enough revenue to put him through college. Since then, he has built companies out of his passion for science, business and technology. Throughout his career, he has strived to create scientific and business value through the innovative use of consumer and analytics oriented technology. Before joining Digital Science, Brian led the research technology group at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, bringing revolutionary new digital and AI technologies directly to scientists.
Prior to Vertex, Brian led the commercialization of BioBright, a data company now known as Luma after being bought by Dotmatics. Brian also co-founded Wingu, a SaaS based laboratory notebook for scientists and one of the first investments in health-IT by Google Ventures. Wingu is now called Signals, and is Perkin Elmer’s fastest growing and premier product for R&D scientific discovery. Finally, Brian founded SciLink, a social network for scientists which was the first and largest social network of its kind. Additionally, Brian ran the functional genomics informatics program at the Whitehead Institute — now the Broad Institute — and was a software engineer at Allaire Corporation, which is now part of Adobe.
