Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShayan Hosseinzadeh is a PhD candidate in Molecular & Cellular Biology at UC Berkeley with eight years of experience applying genomics, stem cell models, and CRISPR screens to dissect genetics of complex disease and telomere biology. He brings a rare blend of high-throughput single-cell and short-read NGS expertise from work at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub and Berkeley labs, plus translational experience supporting a biopharma startup developing non-invasive CNS therapies. His research spans multi-omics cell biology, tissue development, technology development, and functional characterization of sequence variants that impact genome integrity. Comfortable at the bench and at the bioinformatics console, he routinely combines experimental CRISPR screens with computational analysis to link genotype to cellular phenotype. He has also contributed in small-company and operational roles—managing regulatory and clinical trial support—which gives him a practical appreciation for moving discoveries toward translation. Based in San Francisco, he pairs rigorous academic training with hands-on pipeline optimization and a track record of collaborating across large consortia.
