Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Roy is a Staff Research Scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine with eight years of experience dissecting the genetics of complex traits and developing high-throughput genome engineering methods. He built MAGESTIC as a postdoc to enable multiplexed, trackable editing of thousands of variants in single experiments, applying it to map causal variation across environments. Trained at UCLA (PhD, Biochemistry), he combines deep wet-lab expertise in RNA biology and sequencing with quantitative, technology-driven approaches to genome editing. Based in Palo Alto, he blends academic rigor with tool-building that accelerates functional genomics, and his work often reveals regulatory mechanisms that are invisible to conventional assays.
