Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Hafner is a Director and Senior Principal Scientist in Oncology Bioinformatics at Genentech with 11 years of experience bridging computational biology and translational cancer research. He holds a PhD in Computational Systems Biology from EPFL and completed postdoctoral work in cancer biology at Harvard Medical School, where he focused on systems-level approaches to therapeutic response. At Genentech he has progressed from principal to senior principal and now director, leading bioinformatics efforts that translate complex molecular data into actionable insights for oncology programs. Marc combines deep quantitative training in physics and nonlinear systems with hands-on experience building and guiding interdisciplinary teams to solve clinical and biological problems. An unexpected thread in his career is sustained high-performance team leadership outside the lab—as a national junior rowing coach and club technical director—which informs his collaborative, performance-driven management style. Based in South San Francisco, he pairs academic rigor with industry impact to move discoveries toward patient benefit.
