Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Straub is a Senior Data Scientist with nearly a decade of hands-on experience applying machine learning and statistical methods to microbiome, infectious disease, and multi-omics datasets. He blends deep computational skills in R and Python with domain expertise in genomics, metagenomics, bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, and metabolomics to translate complex biological data into actionable insights. Tim has driven research and product innovation at institutions from the Broad Institute to industry teams at Seres Therapeutics and Tiny Health, contributing to clinical trial analyses, first-author publications, and conference presentations. He has built reusable analysis libraries and production pipelines for large-scale metagenomic and health data, and he’s comfortable working in Unix cluster environments on “big data.” Beyond analysis, Tim has experience managing people and collaborating closely with scientific experts to move projects from exploratory research into clinical and product contexts. He is based in Sudbury, MA and maintains an active science-communication presence, including on BlueSky.
