Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Henderson is a seasoned computational scientist and leader who blends deep expertise in statistical genetics, genomics, and cloud-deployed bioinformatics with hands-on AI/ML applied to life sciences. He has built and scaled teams and products—from founding open source efforts at NanoString and designing the AtoMx spatial analysis stack to driving AI-driven pathology solutions at Flagship and now implementing life-science ML at Google Cloud. A proven operator in startups and larger enterprises, he has repeatedly grown teams, revenue, and client bases while managing outsourced development and secure cloud deployments. Technically fluent across R, Python, C++, Matlab/Octave, SAS and more, he designs reproducible analysis pipelines (Dockerized) and novel statistical methods for spatial and sequencing platforms. He brings academic rigor from a PhD in statistical genetics and faculty experience together with pragmatic product delivery and regulatory-aware diagnostic development. An oft-overlooked strength is his track record of turning complex statistical innovations into production-ready, cloud-native tooling that teams can adopt and reproduce.
