Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGesmira Molla is a computational biologist based in Boston with four years of experience applying bioinformatics and software development to single-cell genomics. Currently at the New York Genome Center’s Satija Lab, she contributes to core analysis tools—most notably back-end work on the widely used Seurat R toolkit, improving functions like FindTransferAnchors and documentation for reproducible vignette generation. She holds a BS (summa cum laude) in Biochemistry and an MS in Bioinformatics from Northeastern, and has hands-on industry experience from co-ops at Vertex and Pandion working across high-throughput biology and protein production. Comfortable bridging wet-lab and computational teams, she has practical experience in data analysis for clinical studies and antibody construct workflows. Colleagues describe her as detail-oriented and pragmatic, able to resolve tricky merge conflicts and make code interoperable with related packages like BPCells.
