Senior🎓
Top SchoolChase Clark is a founder and computational biologist with over a decade of combined wet-lab and dry-lab experience across industry and academia, specializing in probiotics, phage, enzymes, and natural product drug discovery. He blends hands-on lab expertise (MS, NMR, HPLC, PCR) with production and R&D experience under cGMP contexts and develops reproducible (meta)genomic and mass-spectrometry computational pipelines using R, Python, Nextflow, Rust, and high-throughput compute. A former CIBM postdoctoral fellow and NIH F31 recipient, he has moved between academic research and consulting to translate microbiome and biochemical insight into deployable software and product workflows. Based in Chicago, he now leads EvoQuant LLC, applying his cross-disciplinary skillset to commercialize lab-computational platforms. Unusually, his background spans both method validation in regulated manufacturing and developing advanced informatics for early-stage antibiotic discovery, enabling end-to-end project delivery from samples to scalable analyses.
