Summary
Christopher Hann-soden is a genomics and computational biology leader with a decade of experience directing high-throughput sequencing and analysis operations at QB3 Genomics in Oakland. He holds a PhD from UC Berkeley where his thesis combined field-collected mold populations, next-generation sequencing, and statistical modeling to reconstruct evolutionary histories and link gene expression to phenotype. As Director he oversees sequencing, functional genomics, and computational labs, providing consultation and scalable analysis pipelines for complex genomic datasets. He blends hands-on experimental sequencing experience with deep statistical "jiu-jitsu" and systems-level optimization, routinely turning mountains of raw reads into biologically actionable insights. Colleagues rely on him for practical solutions that bridge wet-lab workflows and advanced computational models.
