Paul Ranum
Senior Scientist at Latus Bio
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Ranum is a senior scientist and postdoctoral-trained molecular biologist with nine years of experience advancing AAV gene therapy for neurological diseases, now applying that expertise at Latus Bio. He combines deep wet-lab skills—vector design, Illumina and Nanopore sequencing, cloning, and in vivo work—with strong computational capabilities in Python, R, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, and cluster computing. His track record spans academic labs at CHOP and the University of Iowa and industry translation, reflecting an ability to move projects from experimental design through high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic quantification. Paul is particularly skilled at integrating barcode-based single-cell assays with therapeutic construct development, enabling precise readouts of gene delivery in complex tissues. Based in Philadelphia, he brings a pragmatic blend of molecular technique and data-driven analysis to accelerate neurotherapeutic programs.
