Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Experienced professional in drug discovery and biomedical research focused on impacting drug discovery projects through planning of experiments, analysis and integration of data, continuous communication with project teams. Specialties: - Building and leading a team of data scientists - Bio/Chem/Informatics (various -omics analyses, experimental design, high performance computing, method development/implementation, large scale data integration) - Communication across boundaries (discipline, language, timezones, personalities) - Impacting projects through pragmatic solutions
Leading a team of 25 drug discovery data scientists across bioinformatics and cheminformatics, working on early target identification, LMW and genetic screening, most omics technologies and their integration, as well as method internalization and development (statistics, ML, AI) to enable data-driven decision making.
Leading a global (Basel & Cambridge, MA) team of 15+ data scientists in the area of early drug discovery, with a focus on target identification, characterization of model systems (in vitro, in vivo, clinical) and project progression.
- Preclinical research on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), integrated data analyses to identify novel targets and biomarkers from in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies. - Data science team lead - Internal and external collaborations
