Olivia Slayden

Co-Founder, Chief Growth Officer
Olivia Slayden co-founded Microverse Studios in 2005, driving the operational, financial, and commercial strategy that transformed the studio into a leading boutique scientific communications agency. With a unique dual background in human behavior and federal regulatory compliance, she oversees the agency’s business infrastructure, institutional health, and digital growth engines. Prior to launching Microverse Studios, Olivia served in a competitive federal acquisition program, managing large-scale contracts and navigating complex administrative environments across multiple U.S. agencies—including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of State, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Executive Office of the President. She brings this rigorous background in risk management and fiscal oversight to Microverse Studios' operations, serving as the strategic interface for the agency's legal, financial, and regulatory partners. Olivia holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a discipline that directly informs her approach to organizational leadership and brand positioning. Driven by an innate curiosity about how people process complex data and connect with visual narratives, she leverages her understanding of cognitive psychology and human behavior to spearhead the agency’s digital transformation and demand generation strategy. As a digital strategist, Olivia architected Microverse Studios’ high-converting web infrastructure, blending technical search engine optimization (SEO) with intuitive, user-centric web design. By aligning technical site architecture with the psychological principles of user experience (UX) and digital engagement, she transformed the agency’s digital presence into a primary inbound engine. Today, she applies this sophisticated intersection of data-driven SEO, behavioral psychology, and custom web development to help clients build digital platforms that captivate stakeholders, outpace competitors, and turn complex science into compelling online experiences.

Adam Mueller

Medical Director
Adam Mueller completed his MD and PhD at the University of Virginia, his research work focusing primarily on non-coding RNA mediated regulation of gene expression in prostate and breast cancer, as well as in skeletal muscle development. He trained in radiation oncology at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, where he served as chief resident. His clinical practice includes advanced radiation oncology techniques such as SBRT, stereotactic radiosurgery, and brachytherapy, with a clinical interest in gastrointestinal, as well as head and neck malignancies. His post-doctoral research focused on resistance to radiation therapy in pancreatic cancer through modulation of the tumor stromal and immune microenvironment, and strategies to overcome this resistance by targeting the intersection of matrix metalloprotease ADAM10 with the EphB4-EphrinB2 tyrosine kinase receptor complex. He has written clinical book chapters on proton therapy for prostate cancer, as well as SBRT for liver oligometastases. His work has resulted in over $170,000 of competitive external grant funding from the Deparment of Defense, Radiologic Society of North America, Cancer League of Colorado, and Paul Sandoval Foundation. Adam has been the recipient of multiple awards, including the Joyce Hamlin award, UVA presidential fellowship, and Burgee Regents Scholarship.
