Senior🎓
Top SchoolKathryn Evans is a Data Scientist II and bioinformatician with 10 years of experience applying genomics, long-read sequencing, and NGS methods to gene-editing problems, currently focused on off-target effects at Precision BioSciences. She blends deep academic training (PhD in Interdisciplinary Biological Sciences from Northwestern) with hands-on pipeline engineering in R, Nextflow, and bash to analyze large-scale genomic datasets. Kathryn has taught quantitative biology to graduate students and built reproducible tools and R Shiny apps to make complex analyses accessible to research teams. Her background in quantitative genetics and experience coaching researchers give her a knack for translating statistical nuance into practical experimental insight. Based in Durham, NC, she pairs rigorous wet‑lab context with scalable computational workflows to drive safer, more predictable gene-editing outcomes.
