Summary
David Logan is a Principal Scientist with over a decade of hands-on experience applying computational biology, image analysis, and AI/ML to accelerate data-driven drug discovery. He has led large-scale cellular imaging efforts—most notably Pfizer’s JUMP cell-painting program—profiling millions of images on HPC and cloud platforms to create a queryable phenotypic database across 100,000+ perturbations. Skilled in Python, MATLAB, CellProfiler, and deep learning frameworks, he translates complex, multidimensional imaging data into actionable biological insights across therapeutic areas. A practiced collaborator and communicator, he serves as a Data Steward liaison bridging biologists and IT to ensure data governance and usability. His background spans academic neuroscience imaging and industry-scale phenotypic screening, giving him rare depth in both experimental and computational methods. He also remains an active community contributor from his Broad Institute days, helping others solve practical image-analysis problems.
