Dimitry Tegunov is a Principal Scientist in South San Francisco with 12 years of experience developing computational methods for cryo-electron microscopy and in situ structural biology. He combines rigorous computer science training from TUM with a PhD in Biochemistry/Biophysics from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität to bridge algorithm development and experimental structural biology. At Genentech he leads method development translating cutting-edge computational tools into workflows that accelerate macromolecular structure determination. His prior work at the Max Planck Institute encompassed research, PhD, and postdoctoral roles where he built expertise in both software engineering and quantitative image analysis. Colleagues rely on him for solving hard inverse problems in cryo-EM data and for integrating theory with practical lab pipelines. He is known for bringing academic rigor to industrial R&D, often implementing optimizations that make computationally intensive analyses tractable in production settings.
