Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Hu is a Senior Scientist and bioengineer with a Ph.D. and nine years of experience translating cell and tissue science into real-world products, from organoid-based assays to cell line and bioprocess development. She has led cross-functional teams at UPSIDE Foods connecting cellular phenotypes to texture and flavor, and now drives applied research at Genentech focused on scalable tissue biomanufacturing. Her technical toolkit spans 3D cell culture, lentiviral methods, RNA-seq, flow cytometry, image quantification and ML, and she pairs hands-on lab skills with data engineering work to unify experimental datasets. Jennifer’s background in both academic innovation (UCSF, Harvard) and industry process development gives her a rare fluency across discovery, engineering, and productization. She is particularly interested in how measurable physical properties of cells inform selection and design of superior cell lines for manufacturing. Based in South San Francisco, she blends rigorous publication-grade science with practical, cross-team leadership to accelerate translational outcomes.
