Russ Bainer
Summary
👤
SeniorRussell Bainer is a computational biology leader with a decade of cross-disciplinary experience building and operationalizing high-throughput genomics workflows from experimental design through pipeline development, analysis, and dissemination. He has led computational teams at startups and industry (Maze, Light Horse, Eikon) to integrate human genetics, functional genomics, and platform engineering for early-stage target discovery. His work emphasizes regulatory genomics and the epigenetic control of cell state transitions—particularly in cancer—backed by a track record of methodological development and a publication record. Hands-on expertise spans ATAC-seq, CRISPR pooled screens, RNA-seq/ChIP-seq pipelines, and lab-computation integration honed since his PhD in Human Genetics and postdoc at UCSF. Colleagues rely on him to turn complex experimental modalities into reproducible, organization-wide analysis standards and actionable biological insight.
