Early life and education

Otte graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in Chemistry and Computational Biology in 2011.[6] During and after his undergraduate years, he worked as a research assistant at Cornell, contributing to biomedical research linking small blood vessel diseases to Alzheimer’s disease.[7]

He later earned a Master of Theology through the Antiochian House of Studies in conjunction with the University of Balamand in Lebanon.[8]

Career

Otte began his career by joining Apple as a software engineer.[3] He also worked as a software engineer at Glyde Corporation.[9]

In 2014, Otte co-founded Freenome, a biotech company that applies machine learning and genomics for early cancer detection through blood-based diagnostic tests.[10][11][12][13] He served as CEO of the company from 2016 until 2021.[14][15]

While at Freenome, Otte also became a Partner at Healthcare Co-op in May 2018, and he continues to be actively involved in that role.[16]
