Senior🎓
Top SchoolNaomi Yamada is an Associate Director of Genomic Technologies with 11 years of experience applying machine learning and statistical methods to next-generation sequencing and multi-omics data. She specializes in integrating diverse DNA and RNA assays (ChIP-seq/ChIP-exo/CUT&RUN/ATAC-seq, ChIA-PET, WGS, RNA-seq, GRO-seq) and building robust analysis pipelines in Python and Java to support large-scale projects. At GSK she has coordinated cross-functional collaborations with the Broad Institute and led efforts to standardize transcriptomic analyses and ensure data integrity across complex perturbation studies. Her doctoral work produced novel mixture models for binding-event sub-class discovery and scalable QC/visualization frameworks for thousands of NGS datasets, reflecting a blend of methodological innovation and production-ready tooling. She mentors junior scientists and translates computational advances into actionable biological insights for drug discovery.
