At Zepto, he is assisting staff with diagnostic methodology selection and development. In the future, Dr. Collins would like to make Zepto a success.

That achievement is a distinct possibility, because Dr. Collins has tremendous personal drive, communication skills, and a willingness to listen and incorporate others. He is also innovative, as evidenced by his multiple patents. He has an impressive education.
