Senior🎓
Top SchoolGene Yeo is a pioneering RNA biologist and entrepreneur who directs UC San Diego’s Center for RNA Technologies and Therapeutics and leads a lab developing large-scale biochemical, single-cell and computational methods to map RNA processing in development and disease. With a PhD from MIT and an MBA from UCSD, he bridges deep computational and experimental expertise to translate discoveries about RNA binding proteins into RNA-targeting therapeutics and clinical programs. He has authored 250+ peer-reviewed papers and invented techniques such as enhanced CLIP and STAMP that enabled transcriptome-wide RBP mapping. Beyond academia he co-founded multiple biotech companies and advises industry and consortia, demonstrating consistent success moving tools from bench to biotech. An uncommon combination of chemical engineering, computational neuroscience training and business acumen underpins his focus on neurodegeneration, stem cell models and CRISPR/Cas approaches for RNA recognition.
