Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Copin is an Associate Director at Regeneron with nine years of experience applying computational biology to gene therapy and infectious disease research. He bridges deep academic expertise—from a PhD and postdoctoral work on host-pathogen interactions and immune evasion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis—to translational genomics at industry scale. His work combines high-throughput sequencing, epidemiology, and experimental biology to dissect how genetic and regulatory changes drive pathogen adaptation and therapeutic response. At NYU he led multidisciplinary studies that challenged assumptions about antigenic selection, revealing conserved epitopes and pointing toward novel vaccine targets. Now based in New York, he leverages that immunology-first perspective to inform computational strategies in gene therapy discovery and development. A practical scientist who moves between bench and code, he is comfortable turning complex genomic datasets into actionable insights for drug development.
