Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Jones is an incoming Assistant Professor at MIT and a computational biologist with 11 years of experience bridging computer science and single-cell genomics. Trained in CS at UC Berkeley and holding a PhD in Bioinformatics from UCSF, he develops algorithms to trace tumor evolution and oncogene amplification, work he continued as a postdoc at Stanford. He mixes academic rigor with industry-savvy product thinking from founding roles at Tahoe Therapeutics, where he helps scale in vivo single-cell atlases and AI-driven drug discovery. Equally comfortable writing scalable analysis toolkits and deep learning models for EHRs, he brings a rare combination of bioinformatics algorithm development and practical translational impact. Based in Cambridge, MA, he’s driven by problems that require both novel computational methods and close partnerships with experimental labs.
