Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamson Fong is a Senior Data Scientist based in California with eight years of experience at the intersection of functional genomics, computational biology, and cancer research. He combines deep expertise in multi-modal genetic-perturbation screens and deep learning with hands-on experimental skills developed during a PhD in Bioengineering and earlier lab roles. Samson has led multidisciplinary projects bridging academia and industry—securing grants and publishing results—while translating molecular-scale insights into scalable computational models. His background in chemical engineering and molecular dynamics gives him an uncommon fluency across wet-lab design and atomistic simulation, enabling more interpretable models of biological systems. At Novartis NIBR he now applies this hybrid skill set to drive translational research with real-world impact.
