Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCody Heiser is a Senior Scientist in Bioinformatics at Regeneron with nine years of experience bridging computational systems biology, data engineering, and wet-lab development. He earned a PhD studying single-cell and spatial progression of adenoma to carcinoma and applies that domain expertise to build production-ready ML and data pipelines for healthcare and precision medicine. His background includes hands-on assay development and regulatory-focused lab work, giving him rare fluency across experimental design, sequencing workflows, and downstream computational analysis. At Decode Health and IQuity he translated biomarker discovery workflows into scalable, automated pipelines and acted as a liaison between data science and engineering teams. Based in Nashville, he combines academic rigor with product-focused engineering to move complex multi-modal biological data from raw reads to actionable insights. Colleagues rely on him for integrating novel single-cell spatial methods into reproducible, production analytics.
