Summary
Harrison Wang is a Ph.D. candidate and data-savvy biologist with eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the interface of wet lab immunology and production-grade data science. He transitions fluently between hands-on techniques—flow cytometry, qPCR, RNA FISH, and mouse work—and building scalable data pipelines and visualizations using Python, R, SQL, and AWS. At Thermo Fisher and Invitae he optimized ETL and analysis workflows that transformed hours of processing into minutes and surfaced critical assay failures affecting hundreds of samples. His research focuses on DNA clearance in inflammation and autoimmunity, and he has a track record of turning experimental problems into reproducible computational solutions (including custom image-analysis and plotting tools). Based in Philadelphia, he combines rigorous physics/biophysics training with practical production engineering—an unusual blend that helps him both uncover biological mechanisms and ship reliable analytical systems.
