Summary
Mario Pujato is a computational biologist and entrepreneur with 15+ years decoding gene regulatory networks and 8+ years in protein biophysics and structural biology. As President and Founder of Life Sciences Computational Services and former director-level leader at Cincinnati Children’s and senior scientist at AstraZeneca, he builds teams and cloud-native pipelines that turn large multi-omic datasets into actionable biological insight. He has authored 15+ peer-reviewed publications and pioneered allele-resolved transcription factor binding methods and automated NGS/Dragen workflows for high-throughput validation. Equally at home writing R Shiny visualization apps, atomic-level models, or production-grade AWS pipelines, he blends deep domain science with software and process engineering. Notably, his background ranges from quantum mechanical studies of amino acids to deploying FPGA-accelerated sequencing in the cloud, reflecting an unusual span from fundamental biophysics to scalable production informatics.
