Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErick Lu is a PhD-trained immunologist and bioinformaticist with eight years of experience translating immune biology into antibody therapeutics, currently leading inflammation research as Principal Scientist at Gilead Sciences. He combines hands-on expertise in target discovery, assay development, single-cell RNA-seq pipelines, and preclinical pharmacology to move programs from discovery through IND support. His published work includes discovering a novel GPCR ligand and defining dendritic cell migration, reflecting a strong track record of identifying unexpected biology and new therapeutic hypotheses. Erick’s rare blend of wet-lab, mass-spec, and computational skills enables him to both generate and interpret complex single-cell datasets to nominate novel targets and mechanisms. Based in San Francisco, he’s equally comfortable presenting to scientific leadership or coordinating CROs to execute translational studies.
