Summary
Edik Blais is a computational biologist and consultant with 12 years of experience building AI/ML-driven precision medicine tools and multi-omic integration services for oncology and biopharma clients. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he led Perthera’s bioinformatics teams to translate genomics, proteomics, and phosphoproteomics into actionable clinical insights, including models that predict chemotherapy outcomes in pancreatic cancer. His PhD work produced cross-species, genome-scale metabolic models that improve translation from rat preclinical studies to human trials, a capability he has applied to biomarker discovery and combinatorial therapy analysis. Comfortable bridging research, clinical collaborators, and engineering, he now architects healthtech platforms that operationalize therapeutic intelligence and trial matchmaking for broader clinical impact.
