Summary
Conrad Stack is a data science senior leader at Mars with 11 years of experience bridging biology, computer science, and applied statistics to deliver bioinformatics and biostatistics solutions. He holds a Ph.D. in Biology focused on RNA virus phylodynamics and a B.S. in Computer Science, and combines scientific programming in R, Python, and C/C++ with domain expertise in viral genomics and phylogenetics. At Mars he progressed from Senior Bioinformatics Scientist to Data Science Sr Leader, translating complex genetic data into actionable insights for product and research teams. Conrad publishes technical writing and maintains an active GitHub, reflecting a commitment to reproducible research and tooling that supports large-scale genetic analyses. A less obvious strength is his ability to synthesize evolutionary theory with practical data-management and statistical workflows, making him effective at turning academic methods into production-ready pipelines.
