Trang Lê is a Principal Scientist based in Cambridge, MA with nine years of experience building high-impact informatics and software tools for target discovery and biomedical research. She combines a strong quantitative foundation (PhD in Mathematics) with hands-on engineering across R, Python and Julia to create intuitive Shiny apps, automated genomic pipelines, and integrations with large public resources like DepMap. An active open-source contributor—authoring packages such as openalexR and treeheatr and improving UX in popular projects like super-productivity—she focuses on performance and optimization to make data workflows faster and more useful. At Bristol Myers Squibb she translates early research signals toward translational and clinical domains, and is currently exploring the role of LLMs in scientific workflows.
