Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Stoiber is a director and machine learning leader specializing in nanopore sequencing analytics, currently heading modified-base model development at Oxford Nanopore Technologies. With a PhD in Biostatistics from UC Berkeley and over a decade of experience across academia and industry, he has built and deployed foundational tools for modified-base detection from raw electrical signals—projects publicly available as Megalodon, Remora and Tombo. His work bridges deep algorithm development, production ML deployment, and hands-on bioinformatics, reflecting a rare combination of statistical rigor and systems engineering. Previously he led diverse computational biology efforts at Berkeley Lab, Harvard, and NIH, spanning RNA‑seq network biology, eRNA studies, and structural-variation analyses. Based in Napa, Marcus pairs open-source impact with cross-disciplinary collaborations (including EPA and industry partners), enabling practical genomics solutions from low-level signal processing to end-user tools.
