Summary
Swati Kaushik is a computational scientist with over a decade of experience applying machine learning and systems biology to cancer genomics and proteomics, currently advancing translational efforts as Senior Scientist II at Tempus AI. She has a strong track record at Gilead and UCSF developing single-cell and bulk RNA-seq pipelines, integrating proteomics and network-based pan-omics biomarkers to improve patient stratification and predict drug response. Her work spans algorithm development (e.g., C-HMM for remote homolog detection) to production-ready visualization tools and ML models for target discovery and clinical decision support. Proficient in Python, R and Perl, she routinely combines high-throughput omics, mass-spec proteomics and WES analyses to uncover mechanisms of drug resistance and rational combination strategies. Colleagues describe her as both a hands-on developer and a strategic collaborator who bridges academic and industry partnerships to accelerate biomarker-driven therapies. Based in San Francisco, she brings an uncommon blend of computational rigor and practical implementation experience in translational oncology.
