Summary
Yao-ming Huang is a Director based in California with 14 years of hands-on experience at the intersection of molecular and computational biology, specializing in antibody and protein design, engineering, and structural characterization. He has led discovery and engineering efforts across industry and academia, including senior roles at 23andMe and postdoctoral work at UCSF and RPI where he developed novel computational protein-design algorithms and programmable biosensors. His expertise spans end-to-end workflows from in silico design and NGS/bioinformatics analysis to expression, purification, and affinity maturation using phage display and bispecific format engineering. Colleagues describe him as results-oriented and dependable with strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to translate complex biophysics into practical assays and products. An uncommon strength is his blend of high-performance computing experience (parallelized algorithms on clusters/BlueGene) with practical wet-lab evolution and structure determination. He combines academic rigor with product-focused leadership to drive translational protein engineering programs.
