Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNils Eling is a Senior Expert II in Data Science based in Basel with nine years of experience translating single-cell, spatial transcriptomics and bioimaging data into actionable biological insights for translational research. He combines rigorous statistical method development— including Bayesian approaches from his PhD—with practical software and R/Bioconductor package engineering to support reproducible analysis pipelines. At institutions from EMBL-EBI to University of Zurich and now Novartis, he has led image-analysis teams, managed servers and codebases, and co-supervised graduate research, blending hands-on analysis with mentorship and project leadership. He is particularly adept at disentangling transcriptional variability and building analysis environments that accelerate target discovery and patient stratification. Notably, his background spans wet-lab familiarity with organoid and immune experiments to full-stack data stewardship, making him comfortable at the interface of biology, statistics and production-ready tooling.
