About Me
Who I Am
I am Dalron J. Robertson, a researcher, engineer and creative problem solver in the life sciences. My early work in the arts taught me how structured discipline and creative insight spark innovation. Through composing music and writing books I learned to build systems that combine precision with expressive purpose.
My training spans biomedical science, clinical pharmacology and software engineering. As lead graduate researcher I guided a team of sixteen in evaluating phytochemicals for therapeutic use. We built structural models, ran molecular docking simulations and conducted bioinformatics analyses to identify the most promising candidates. That work earned second place at my university’s annual research symposium.
Currently, as I work toward completing my Pharm.D., I am developing a specialized ecosystem of machine-learning models, domain-specific language models, and autonomous agents tailored to the life sciences. This integrated framework continuously ingests biological data and evolves dynamically to support biomedical research. My clinical background, engineering expertise, and dedication to meaningful innovation equip me to create intelligent systems that accelerate scientific discovery.
