Marc A. Goldstein, Ph.D.
Marc Goldstein, Ph.D., is a Product Platform Manager in Beckman Coulter’s Automation and Information Systems Business Center. He is responsible for managing the business of platform hardware and software product, including the Biomek® Laboratory Automation Workstations, SAMI® Software EX and the new BioRAPTR FRD™ and PicoRAPTR™ low-volume microfluidic workstations.

Marc’s academic training focused on the enzymatic breakdown of wood, specifically the initiation of the cellulolytic process by the binding of a cellulase component to the crystalline cellulose matrix—a project that gave him extensive experience with techniques spannng the range of traditional microbiology, biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology. He obtained a Ph.D. in Microbiology from U.C. Davis and his work resulted in many papers and a patent for technology that is in use today. After a brief post-doc appointment at U.C. Davis, Marc left academia to take up an Application Specialist position supporting automated DNA sequencing.

Having gained a strong understanding of modern automated genetic analysis processes, Marc joined Beckman Coulter in early 1998 as a Project Manager, supporting the proper configuration, installation and startup of automated systems such as CORE™ Systems and Assay Workstations. Since then, he has held positions of increasing responsibility including heading the North American Project Management team, gaining experience with all the common assay technologies that support the drug discovery process as well as modern genetic analysis.

Drucker Graduate School of Management in Claremont, Calif.

Mary has extensive knowledge from previous positions at Beckman Coulter in which she supported the implementation process of clinical diagnostics analyzers. Additionally, Mary obtained her United States Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC, US) in 2006.

Keith Roby
Keith Roby works in Beckman Coulter’s Brea, Calif. facility as a Strategic Marketing Product Manager for automation applications in the Automation and Information Systems Business Center. He began his career with Beckman Coulter as a research and development scientist for immunochemistry, and then moved to applied research for early cancer detection—looking at applications for the diagnosis of malignant disorders based on changes in the structuredness of the cytoplasmic matrix. Keith then transferred to genomic application for DNA sequencing using capillary electrophoresis and eventually became an Applications Scientist for Life Science Automation.

Currently, Keith is responsible for applications on the Biomek®, RAPTR™ and PARADIGM™ platforms.
