Summary
Rizki Mardian is a Principal Scientist based in Boston with eight years of cross-disciplinary experience at the intersection of synthetic biology, machine learning, and lab automation. He has designed large-scale synthetic gene circuits and led end-to-end biologics discovery platforms—bringing together phage/yeast display, NGS, ML-driven in-silico library design, and MLOps to accelerate hit discovery and affinity maturation. Rizki pairs deep wet-lab expertise (Golden Gate/Gibson assembly, flow cytometry, microfluidics) with production-grade data engineering and automation, having built real-time pipelines and Opentrons-driven DBTL workflows. At industry leaders including Merck and GSK he has driven team strategy with OKR/KPI frameworks while delivering practical protein design and informatics solutions. Notably, his background in computer science and hands-on platform building enables him to translate generative AI and Bayesian approaches into tangible biotherapeutic candidates.
