Quartzy has been built keeping in mind the needs of the life science community. The founders met while conducting research at Columbia University. As we toiled through our research, we became frustrated by the disorganization and poor communication within academic life science labs, and the myriad administrative tasks that detract from scientific discovery. Out of this frustration sprang Quartzy, an online suite of lab management tools for the academic life science community. Using Quartzy, your lab can become more productive.

Adam Regelmann has conducted academic research since early high school in fields such as chemistry, microbiology, and molecular immunology. He is also a physician, holding both an MD and a PhD. Adam currently functions as the scientific voice of Quartzy. He is passionate about Quartzy's mission, and personally invites you to contact him regarding your thoughts about Quartzy, the trajectory of science in general, or about how the Quartzy Team can improve the site. He can be reached adam@quartzy.com

Jayant Kulkarni has a PhD in engineering from Cornell. He joined the team in January 2010 and is responsible for shaping the technical vision of Quartzy. You can reach him at jayant@quartzy.com.
