Summary
Jesper Maag is a Director of Bioinformatics & Data Science with eight years of hands-on experience translating next-generation sequencing into biological insight across academia and industry. He builds and leads multi-national teams to develop robust analysis pipelines, integrate multi-omics datasets, and apply machine learning to decode noncoding DNA/RNA regulation in health and disease. His work spans RNA-seq, ATAC/ChIP/Hi-C, WGS mutational analyses, and sophisticated statistical modeling, with results communicated in peer-reviewed publications and international talks. A self-taught coder comfortable in R, Python, Bash and HPC environments, he blends rigorous PhD-level genomics training with pragmatic product-focused development at companies like Remix Therapeutics and MSKCC. Notably, he advances therapeutic target discovery by coupling time-series and allelic-expression analyses with ML models to reveal regulatory mechanisms often overlooked by standard pipelines.
