Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Henley is a Senior Staff Scientist with a PhD in Physics and 11 years of experience translating single-molecule biophysics and nanopore expertise into commercial spatial transcriptomics and sequencing products. He has led cross-functional teams through assay R&D, chemistry, hardware integration, and product launch—most recently driving molecular biology efforts on high-plex in situ profiling at 10x Genomics and now at Element Biosciences. His work blends deep hands-on assay development (sample and library prep, decoding chemistries) with strategic leadership of interdisciplinary groups across international sites. Notably, his background in developing single-molecule electrical and optical sequencing platforms and novel in situ methylcytosine assays gives him a rare combination of physical-measurement rigor and molecular biology productization skills. Based in Boston, he excels at turning exploratory R&D into scalable assays that meet commercial analyzer requirements.
