Summary
Brian Soong is an MD/PhD candidate and graduate student researcher at Icahn School of Medicine with a decade of research experience in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applied to tumor immunology. He combines rigorous biophysics training from Johns Hopkins with hands-on assay development and computational analysis honed at the Broad Institute and multiple rotations across leading labs to build multi-modal single-cell readouts. His work spans solid tumor immunology, atlas-scale tissue profiling, and optically pooled genetic screens, blending experimental and computational skill sets. Beyond the bench, he directs clinical operations for Nucleate's NYC chapter and has a history of mentoring STEM students, reflecting a commitment to translation and education. An unusual strength is his cross-disciplinary fluency—equally comfortable designing experiments, developing computational mappings like Tangram, and interpreting clinical pathology—positioning him to bridge methods development and biological insight.
