Senior🎓
Top SchoolRemy Schwab is a computational biologist and PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics with a decade of experience applying bioinformatics to infectious disease, precision medicine, and synthetic biology. He has driven computational efforts in both academia and startups—leading sequence-based outbreak tracking for Day Zero Diagnostics and developing pipelines and UI tools for cancer genomics at Personal Genome Diagnostics. Trained at McGill and Johns Hopkins (M.Eng. in Biomedical Engineering), he combines algorithm design, machine learning for genomic fidelity, and hands-on pipeline engineering across NGS and third-generation sequencing platforms. Remy pairs deep domain knowledge in genomics, epigenomics, and protein design with practical product-focused experience in primer design and antibiotic resistance prediction, and he brings a behavioral-economics-informed perspective to interdisciplinary problem solving.
