Senior🎓
Top SchoolSheldon Mckay is an Associate Director of Bioinformatics with over two decades of hands-on experience applying omics, computational biology and data science to drug discovery and research operations. At Regeneron he leads cross-functional data science teams that build automated analysis pipelines, bespoke databases and APIs for CRISPR design, antibody discovery, RNAi modeling and pathogen surveillance, and he regularly teaches enterprise-wide bioinformatics workshops. Trained as an evolutionary geneticist (PhD) and grounded in genome informatics from institutions like Cold Spring Harbor and UBC, he blends deep domain expertise in phylogenetics and comparative genomics with practical engineering in R, Python and JavaScript. Notably, his group has translated evolutionary and mass-spectrometry signals into novel antibody identification and predictive biophysical models, reflecting a knack for turning complex biological data into actionable R&D outcomes.
