Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Driver is Head of Bioinformatics with 13 years of experience applying single-cell genomics to problems in immunology, oncology, lung regeneration, and aging, combining a PhD in cellular and molecular studies with an SB in chemical engineering from MIT. Based in San Francisco, he leads bioinformatics at Gordian Biotechnology, building analysis pipelines and visualization tools in Python and R to turn large single-cell datasets into actionable insights. His work spans hands-on experimental design of single-cell experiments to production-grade software for reproducible, quantitative biology, and he has a track record of enabling TCR and single-cell immunology projects from Amgen to UCSF. An open-science advocate, he publishes toolkits on GitHub to lower the barrier to data sharing and integration, reflecting a consistent focus on tooling as much as discovery. Notably, his background in both wet-lab stem cell biology and computational tool development lets him bridge experiment and computation in ways that accelerate translational research.
