Senior🎓
Top SchoolConnor French is a data scientist and engineer in biotech with eight years of experience building end-to-end data workflows that connect 'omics and NGS outputs to cloud storage and analytics, and he now applies that expertise at Sarepta Therapeutics. He combines strong computational biology roots (PhD in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) with hands-on engineering—authoring open-source Python and R tools, developing Nextflow/Targets pipelines, and shipping Shiny/Quarto dashboards that replace costly proprietary software. His work spans preclinical and rare-disease drug development, from revamping peak-detection algorithms to accelerate discovery to modeling genomic and immunological data with ML and statistics. A seasoned scientific consultant and workshop instructor, he has a track record of translating complex biology for non-experts and securing grant funding to drive collaborative, interdisciplinary projects.
