Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVladimir Makarov is an AI and bioinformatics consultant and program manager with 11+ years of experience building pre-competitive pharmaceutical research hubs and translating complex computational biology into operational drug development programs. With a PhD in computational biology and an MBA, he has led initiatives from pioneering AI-driven drug repurposing (one product now in clinical trials) to establishing Good Machine Learning Practices adopted across industry and regulatory collaborations with NIH and FDA. He combines hands-on technical leadership—running international bioinformatics teams, NGS and multi-omics pipelines, and knowledge-graph/ML solutions—with senior program and product roles at organizations like Illumina, Monsanto, and Pistoia Alliance. An experienced conference organizer and grant-winning program manager, he bridges academia, startups, and enterprise IT to drive pragmatic, validated solutions for regulated environments. Based in London but globally focused, he is as comfortable negotiating SBIR awards and licensing deals as he is defining metadata standards and LLM agent workflows for complex biological databases.
