William Fondrie is Head of Data Science and Engineering at Talus Bio, where he leads the team building AI-enabled software to extract deeper insight from mass spectrometry data to enable targeting of previously untargetable gene regulatory proteins. With 11 years bridging academic research and industry — including a Ph.D. from UMB and postdoctoral work in Bill Noble’s lab at UW — he combines proteomics, computational biology, and ML to turn complex experimental data into actionable drug-discovery signals. He’s advanced from senior data scientist to manager and now head of the organization at Talus, pairing hands-on algorithm development with team and engineering leadership. Outside the lab he’s a practical tinkerer — an amateur audio engineer, fixie rider, banjo player, and coffee enthusiast — which mirrors his habit of combining technical rigor with creative problem solving.
