Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Shaheen is an auditory neuroscientist and data scientist with 11 years of experience translating complex neural signals into actionable insights for gene therapy and hearing research. Currently Sr. Advisor in Early Preclinical Development at Eli Lilly (formerly leading physiology at Decibel/Regeneron), he designs and analyzes in vivo studies, develops DSP and automated analysis algorithms, and integrates physiology pipelines across CROs and enterprise systems. His background in electrical engineering and firmware informs robust experimental hardware and real-time stimulus/control software, while his computational work spans Python, TensorFlow, MATLAB, and AWS for scalable processing. Notably, he has shown that midbrain auditory circuits exhibit task-dependent plasticity previously attributed mainly to cortex, and built a novel automated ABR thresholding algorithm that improved data quality across programs. Based in Boston, he excels at communicating technical results to both scientists and non-scientists and bridging bench neuroscience with production-ready computational tools.
