Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmre Erhan is a computational biologist and founding engineer with nine years of experience applying machine learning and software engineering to genomics and spatial transcriptomics. Trained at UBC and BC Cancer Genome Sciences Centre, he used SVMs and transcriptomic models to predict therapy response and assembled draft genomes and viral-integration pipelines during his MSc. At 10x Genomics he helped test and harden core products like Space Ranger, Cell Ranger and Loupe, blending rigorous test engineering with domain-specific bioinformatics. His background spans academia and industry—from TB resistance modeling at EMBL-EBI to structural variant pipelines for personalized oncology—giving him a rare combination of production-grade software skills and deep wet-lab data intuition. Now based in New York, he builds and scales genomics tooling as a startup founding engineer, bringing a practical knack for turning complex sequencing methods into reliable, testable software.
