Zach Holcomb

Zach is a biochemist who spends his days navigating the complexities of pharmaceutical research and development. His work spans the lifecycle of complex injectable drugs, from initial R&D and FDA approval to commercial manufacturing. When the sun goes down, he trades the microscope for the telescope. A self-proclaimed “astronomical insomniac,” Zach specializes in deep-sky imaging with a particular focus on planetary nebulae, driven by the persistent hope of capturing something the world hasn’t seen before.
