Summary

Senior

Scott Norton is a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with nine years of experience bridging computational methods, mathematics, and genomics to advance early drug-target discovery and neurodevelopmental research. With a PhD in Genomics and Computational Biology from the University of Pennsylvania, he has developed robust RNA-seq and splicing tools for large heterogeneous datasets and implemented pipelines used in PsychENCODE studies of autism-related brain development. At Yale he combined wet-lab design (oligonucleotide/enhancer assays in organoids) with computational regulatory-network modeling, and now applies that translational focus at Merck’s Exploratory Science Center. A polyglot programmer (Python, R, MATLAB, C/C++, Bash) who also contributes to ambitious reverse-engineering open-source projects, he brings both deep algorithmic rigor and practical systems-building to complex biological data problems.
