Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Packer is a Principal Scientist in statistical genetics with 13 years of experience translating human genetics and multi-omic signals into drug targets and precision-medicine strategies. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Genome Sciences) and hands-on software engineering to build automated pipelines for GWAS-QTL colocalization, coding variant analysis, conditional analyses, PRS, and druggability assessment. At Foresite Labs he led discovery across diverse indications and modalities, prioritizing translational paths by evaluating druggability, preclinical models, trial design, and competitive landscape, and now focuses on CNS and ocular target discovery at Alnylam. Equally comfortable in code and biology, he has a track record of converting genetic insights into actionable programs and spotting safety or stratification opportunities that others might miss. Based in Boston, he blends academic rigor with biotech-scale execution to drive target selection from data to clinic.
