Principal Scientist at Link Cell Therapies
Sacramento, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Farrell is a Principal Scientist with nine years of experience applying informatics and statistical modeling to problems in human aging, health, and cell therapy. He moved from a productive postdoctoral program at UCLA—where he built high-performance bisulfite sequencing pipelines in C/C++/Python, developed an open-source nonlinear epigenetic aging model, and led multiple large-scale sequencing projects—to senior scientific roles in industry. At Link Cell Therapies and Instil Bio he translated genomic and methylation analyses into actionable insights for CAR T and cell therapy programs. He combines deep computational skills, experimental sequencing experience, and cloud/HPC data processing to bridge lab and production environments. Based in Sacramento, he is as comfortable optimizing low-level pipelines as he is designing targeted assays and collaborating with clinicians, an uncommon blend that speeds deployment of genomics-driven therapeutics.
