Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Tourdot is a Senior Computational Biologist with 10 years of interdisciplinary experience applying machine learning and advanced sequencing technologies to cancer biology and patient-focused biomarker discovery. He has developed novel computational methods for whole-chromosome haplotyping and integrated HiC, 10X, and Nanopore data to resolve tumor genome evolution, combining single-cell sequencing, imaging, and multiomic analyses. Having worked across academia and industry—from Dana-Farber and Harvard to Ambry, Volastra, and now AstraZeneca—he bridges wet-lab collaboration with production-ready bioinformatics. Trained as a chemical engineer with a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, he brings a physics-informed quantitative perspective to biological problems, often uncovering mechanistic insights hidden in complex genomic mosaics.
