About Tom Gilman

I’m Tom Gilman, Founder and CEO of Biosero, Inc…

And, I’m so much more…

My (professional) story has pretty much been the same since my career started at Beckman.

My desire is to work in the best team, making the greatest impact by helping our external team (customers) find discoveries and cures.

I’m a husband, a father and a grandfather. I’m an athlete, a provider and a volunteer.

I have a passion for learning, and continue to instill that in myself, my marriage and my family.

As Founder and CEO, I drive the integrated team strategy and development at Biosero, the company I formed in 2003.

I had a vision, based on past experiences, projects, successes and failures. INTEGRATION of INSTRUMENTATION and LAB AUTOMATION is my backbone, but we needed something that could tie it ALL together.

Biosero rapidly developed an innovative software solution that enables scientists, researchers and technologists to automate and expedite laboratory workflows while freeing up precious time.

This innovation is called Green-Button-Go.

For more than 30 years I’ve delivered on the promise of lab automation by working in great teams to solve complex workflow challenges for our customers.

In 2021 I was awarded as the top CEO in San Diego in the medium size private company category (50-150 employees, San Diego Business Journal/ May 2021) top 500 executives in San Diego (San Diego Business Journal/ Nov 2021). Biosero was also awarded one of Best Places to Work in San Diego and our CTO, David Dambman, received honors for CTO of the year.

I strive for excellence from myself, my family and my team.

As a volunteer, Biosero has worked with several local and national organizations. Every year our team members nominate and vote for a philanthropic cause to receive a contribution from Biosero.

Volunteer Work Includes:

– Biosero – WHY Project (Major Donations – American Cancer Society, The Cancer Research Institute, the Alzheimer’s Foundation, etc…)
– Biosero – San Diego Food Bank Volunteers
– Biosero – Girl’s Inc – RARE BEARS
– Biosero – Walk to End Alzheimer’s
– Biosero – Walk to End Muscular Dystrophy

We also sponsor a local automation club, Team Inspiration, made up of the best young automation talent in San Diego. I love working with young people, particularly our Biosero interns. They are inspiring!

At the end of the day my drive lies where it always has been, helping to automate labs in order to rapidly develop a cure for cancer and other deadly diseases and do my best to live a life of significance!
