Senior🎓
Top SchoolMeng Wu is a Senior Scientist I in Computational Biology with 11 years of experience applying genomics, evolutionary genetics, and genome editing expertise to IND-enabling studies and novel technology development. At Editas Medicine she designs and implements reproducible, scalable bioinformatics pipelines and bespoke tools to evaluate efficacy and safety of gene-editing therapeutics across short- and long-read platforms, single-cell and bulk assays. Proficient in Python, R, Bash, SQL and cloud/container workflows (AWS, Docker, Git, Conda), she bridges computational rigor with experimental teams to translate complex sequencing data into actionable decisions. Her PhD in Evolutionary Biology and Bioinformatics underpins a knack for creative algorithmic solutions and assembly work demonstrated earlier in a Genentech project assembling a high-quality Indian cobra genome. Based in Cambridge, MA, she combines meticulous documentation and communication skills with a track record of prototyping new editing approaches that accelerate program milestones.
