Olivier F. Noel, MD,PhD

I'm a physician scientist and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery resident at Yale. I'm interested in microsurgery, vascularized composite allotransplantation, genetic/genomics research and startups. I founded DNAsimple (seen on SharkTank) while in graduate school to help streamline the way researchers obtain patient samples for scientific studies.
