Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoberto Lozano is a Senior Engineer II in Data Science with 11 years of experience applying genomics, bioinformatics, and high-throughput phenotyping to crop improvement. Trained as a plant breeder and PhD in Plant Breeding & Genetics from Cornell, he has progressed from developing genetic resources for Peruvian potato and cassava to leading computational biology efforts across diverse crops and industrial ag-bio teams. At Ginkgo and Joyn Bio he translated genomic and phenotypic data into scalable analytics and biological insights, including building HapMap resources and chromatin-state maps to link field-rover phenotypes to genotype. He combines hands-on computational skills with practical plant-breeding instincts, a knack for low-cost autonomous phenotyping, and a persistent focus on innovative solutions for agronomic challenges. Based in the Greater Chicago Area, he brings a global perspective—rooted in work on food-security crops in Africa and South America—that informs disruptive approaches to agriculture.
