Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Attig is a Principal Scientist in Bioinformatics and Statistics with eight years of experience translating genomics and clinical data into actionable biomarker strategies, currently leading exploratory and predictive analyses for oncology and immunotherapy at Roche in Basel. Trained as a PhD scientist at Cambridge and an expert R programmer with 10+ years of experience, he builds and maintains production-ready R packages, reproducible analysis pipelines, and semi-automated testing to support regulatory-standard outputs (SDTM/ADaM). His work spans bulk and single-cell RNAseq, high-parameter cytometry, and NGS quality assessment, and he regularly applies machine learning and advanced regression techniques (LASSO, random forest, time-to-event models) to patient stratification and target validation. A former academic researcher, he discovered tumor-specific retroelement-driven isoforms with implications for cancer vaccines, and he brings that bench-to-computational perspective into reverse-translation of clinical trials. As a people coach he also fosters team growth and pragmatic adoption of best coding practices via R Markdown and GitHub workflows.
