Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTay Shin is a biotech-focused founder and computational scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of machine learning, synthetic neurobiology, and translational drug delivery. Currently co-founding a stealth startup to enable in vivo cell reprogramming through programmable drug delivery, Tay previously held a J. Douglas Tan postdoctoral fellowship at MIT McGovern and completed a PhD at the MIT Media Lab working on lipid staining, expansion microscopy, hydrogels and ML-driven image analysis. Earlier work in Korea’s Ministry of National Defense produced data-driven personnel budget and suicide-risk models that delivered measurable cost savings and materially improved predictive performance. An NSF Graduate Research Fellow with a statistics BA from UC Berkeley, Tay blends rigorous quantitative modeling with hands-on wet-lab and materials experience—a combination that helps translate complex biological problems into deployable, predictive systems. Notably, Tay’s career moves reflect a pattern of applying advanced ML to high-stakes, real-world decisions rather than purely academic problems.
