Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Steinhauser is a computational biologist and Senior Expert II in Data Science at Novartis with eight years of experience translating regulatory genomics and machine learning into early drug discovery impact. He earned a PhD in Bioinformatics from Imperial College London after a strong academic foundation in molecular biotechnology at Heidelberg, and has a track record developing novel analysis methods and R packages for high-throughput sequencing. At the Francis Crick Institute he investigated gene regulatory logic with ML, and at DKFZ he combined wet‑lab insight with production-grade bioinformatics pipelines (Bash/Python/R). At Novartis he has progressed through investigator and senior expert roles, applying predictive models and data workflows to advance target and compound selection. Colleagues value his blend of rigorous research, software engineering discipline, and domain fluency that lets him bridge experiment and computation. He often brings underappreciated strengths in turning exploratory genomic analyses into reusable, reproducible tools for translational teams.
