Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaizi Zheng is a Senior Principal Scientist based in the NYC area with 13 years of experience translating genomics research into biotech impact across academia, startups, and industry. He specializes in bioinformatics, cfDNA and extracellular RNA sequencing, predictive machine learning for biomarker discovery, and production-ready analytics pipelines used in drug discovery and diagnostic development. At Regeneron he builds scalable bioinformatics tools for variant analysis, gene editing, and antibody design, and previously led R&D and automation efforts as a co-founder at Genemo to commercialize SILVER-seq-based diagnostics. His academic work includes creating FinaleDB, a public cfDNA fragmentation database, and contributing to NGS methods like NOMe-seq and single-molecule assays, demonstrating both methodological innovation and attention to reproducible data resources. Comfortable with software engineering (including C++ automation control) and workflow orchestration for AWS/Kubernetes, he bridges deep physics-trained quantitative thinking with hands-on lab and cloud implementation. Colleagues value him for turning complex multi-modal genomics problems into practical, high-throughput solutions that improve clinical and research decision-making.
