Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Lachmann is a statistical genetics and biomedical informatics leader with a Ph.D. from Columbia University and over a decade of research and engineering experience translating gene expression and regulatory networks into scalable, cloud-native analysis platforms. He has led development of comprehensive knowledge-bases for transcription factor binding and kinase-substrate interactions and reverse-engineered cell context–specific regulatory networks to drive biological discovery. At Mount Sinai he built cloud-based infrastructures enabling large-scale physiological and genetic analyses, and now leads statistical genetics efforts at Regeneron. Equally comfortable in wet-lab biology and software engineering, he combines deep domain expertise with production-level tooling to connect complex datasets to actionable hypotheses. His background in computer science (RWTH Aachen) and early work on pattern discovery with Xerox-informed algorithms hints at a long-standing focus on extracting structure from noisy biological data.
