Senior🎓
Top SchoolSomnath Tagore is a computational biologist and computer scientist with eight years of experience applying advanced software and computational methods to cancer genomics and multi-modal sequencing at Columbia University. As Senior Member of the Human Immune Monitoring Core and Associate Research Scientist in Hematology/Oncology, he blends hands-on algorithm development with translational research to extract biological insight from complex immune and single-cell datasets. Trained with a PhD in Computer Software Engineering from the Indian Statistical Institute, he brings rigorous statistical thinking to pipeline design, reproducible analysis, and scalable data engineering for genomics. Known for elegant, pragmatic code—self-deprecatingly honest about its rough edges—he bridges domain expertise and production-ready tooling. Based in New York, he focuses on turning noisy sequencing signals into clinically relevant biomarkers and efficient computational workflows. Colleagues rely on him for solving tricky integration problems across modalities and for distilling high-dimensional results into actionable hypotheses.
