Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Hanson-smith is a computational biologist and computer scientist with 14 years of experience building AI-driven discovery platforms that reveal causal mechanisms in genetically complex neurodegenerative diseases. He led and scaled Verge Genomics’ computational biology group, advancing an ALS program into Phase 2 and building a pipeline of preclinical candidates by integrating genomics, transcriptomics, and phenotypic data with experimental validation in human cells and animal models. Trained in algorithm design and high-performance computing (PhD, University of Oregon), he spans the full discovery arc from hypothesis generation to in vivo testing, focusing upstream where computational leverage is highest. He has a track record of shipping production-grade software and novel algorithms that surface signals traditional evidence-filtering misses. Currently on sabbatical in California, he’s open to conversations about hard translational problems where computation can change the shape of drug discovery.
