Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSean Johnsen is a PhD candidate in Genetics and Molecular Biology at UNC Chapel Hill with 11 years of research and engineering experience bridging wet-lab epigenetics, developmental biology, and computational analysis. He combines classic molecular genetics with bioinformatics and computer vision to dissect epigenetic control of gene regulation during animal development, and has applied machine learning to image classification in C. elegans studies. His background in computer science and prior work building monitoring and CI systems at TripAdvisor give him a practical engineering perspective on reproducible, scalable research workflows. Sean is driven to translate complex biological questions into quantitative, computationally tractable experiments and develops tools that accelerate discovery across bench and code.
