Senior🎓
Top SchoolPo-yuan Tung is an Associate Director specializing in single-cell and multi-omics assay development with 11 years of experience bridging academic research and commercial biotech. He holds a Ph.D. in Cell Biology and Human Anatomy from UC Davis and has advanced workflows from sample prep to data analysis for platforms including 10x, Parse, Scale and early-stage systems. Previously he led molecular biology teams and technical programs at Berkeley Lights and Twist Bioscience, shipping high-throughput NGS methods, adapter-blocking strategies, and long-read target enrichment for diagnostic and screening applications. His work uniquely combines hands-on stem cell and single-cell genomics expertise with practical automation and assay scale-up, enabling CRISPR pooled and arrayed screens across diverse platforms. Colleagues rely on him for designing robust study frameworks that account for technical variation in single-cell RNA-seq—an asset rooted in his postdoctoral work on variance-QTLs using human iPSCs.
