Summary
Casey Hanson is a computational lead and published Ph.D. scientist with nine years of experience applying machine learning and rigorous software engineering to biological problems, currently directing bioinformatics services at Cedars-Sinai. He develops end-to-end analysis pipelines across bulk, single-cell, spatial, and long-read modalities, translating complex multi-omic data into actionable biological insight. Casey’s Ph.D. work produced probabilistic methods (pGENMi) linking transcriptional regulation to drug response and helped create one of the first TF–drug association resources; he later expanded this translational focus at Stanford by integrating transcriptomics with lipidomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data for colorectal cancer. Comfortable moving projects from algorithm design to production, he blends academic rigor with operational leadership in a core genomics facility. Based in Los Angeles, he’s seeking roles that leverage his ability to bridge computational innovation and wet-lab discovery.
