Summary
Benjamin Holmes is a computational biologist and AI-driven scientist with 13 years of experience applying machine learning to biology, therapeutics, and diagnostics. He has led data science and automation at Orbital Therapeutics, developed ML and computational chemistry methods at Glympse Bio, and now builds the lab of the future as a Visiting Scientist in the Le Cong lab at Stanford Medicine. A co-founder of AERONAUT and a stealth startup founder, he pairs academic rigor from MIT and Cornell with hands-on product and systems delivery across industry and research labs. His prior work at the Broad enabled global CRISPR design tools used by hundreds of thousands, and earlier NASA projects show a rare span from planetary atmospheres to protease-sensor diagnostics. Based in Somerville, MA, he combines deep technical breadth—spanning spatial genomics, automation, and ML—with a knack for turning experimental platforms into scalable, patient-facing medicines.
