Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Baker is a postdoctoral research associate and trained biochemist with nine years of experience bridging molecular biology and applied data-driven research, currently working at the University of Cambridge. He led investigations into how mammalian interspatial repeats influence subcellular localization of Dendrin, developing rapid analytical methods and experimental pipelines during his PhD and earlier internships. Comfortable in both academic and consultancy environments, he has hands-on experience in designing experiments, data munging, and building preliminary ML models from his work at SoftBrew. Energetic and curious, he combines tactical team-building and clear communication with a knack for translating complex genomic questions into testable experiments. Notably, his background includes cross-disciplinary roles—from neuroscience-focused wet lab research to machine-learning curriculum development—giving him a rare fluency across bench and computational approaches.
