Senior🎓
Top SchoolSunny Sun is a product-focused computational biologist and entrepreneur with eight years of experience building data infrastructure and single-cell biology platforms, currently co-founding and leading product at Lamin in Cambridge. He blends deep academic training (PhD in cell and computational biology) with hands-on experience scaling computational teams and taking biology-driven software from research to drug-development impact. At Cellarity he led the computational biology function across multiple disease programs and grew the team eightfold, and his earlier work spans genomics, chromatin biology, and integrative analyses for neurodegeneration. Passionate about open science, he maintains an active technical presence (GitHub) and a Google Scholar profile that signals ongoing research contributions alongside his product leadership. Notably, he pairs experimental lab experience with productionized pipelines and knowledge-graph driven analytics, making him fluent at translating wet-lab hypotheses into robust computational products.
