Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSherif Farag is a senior computational chemist and founder with nearly a decade of applied experience at the intersection of cheminformatics, bioinformatics and computational pathology, currently leading AI-driven toxicology and multi-omics efforts at Inotiv while running NORAS Analytics. He builds and deploys scalable QSAR, virtual screening and multi-omics platforms, architects bioinformatics infrastructure for spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, and serves as Technical Lead for NICEATM’s Integrated Chemical Environment to improve accessibility of regulatory toxicology data. Equally comfortable in Python, R, Java, SQL and KNIME, he combines hands-on model development with team leadership and mentorship across cross-functional research groups. His background spans pharma (Genentech, Roche), academic translational research (UNC Lineberger, UNC Eshelman) and entrepreneurship, giving him a rare blend of regulatory, research and product-facing experience. A PhD-trained biomathematician/bioinformatician, he is also skilled in computational pathology workflows—translating whole-slide image analysis into clinically interpretable tumor microenvironment features.
