Senior🎓
Top SchoolSon Pham is a scientist-founder and CEO with eight years of leadership at BioTuring, where he blends deep computational genomics expertise with product-driven company leadership. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from UC San Diego and built novel algorithms for genome assembly and comparative genomics in Pavel Pevzner’s lab. Before founding BioTuring he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Salk Institute studying transcriptomes and genomes of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and he has lectured on genome assembly for Coursera. He is comfortable translating cutting-edge research into commercial bioinformatics tools and guiding interdisciplinary teams from algorithm design to deployed software. Based in San Diego, he combines academic rigor with startup pragmatism, often bridging wet-lab questions and scalable computational solutions. An early sign of his practical bent: he taught the first Coursera bioinformatics lectures, demonstrating a knack for communicating complex methods to broad audiences.
