Top SchoolYikai Kuo is a data scientist in New York with eight years of experience at the intersection of biostatistics, design, and molecular biology. Transitioning from hands-on wet-lab roles in gene editing and biomarker discovery to data-driven positions, Yikai builds automated analysis pipelines, applies regularized modeling, and crafts public-friendly visualizations for complex biomedical data. At Mass General Hospital they helped establish a Biomarker Core and at The Tie they now translate data insights into product-ready solutions. Combining a biology BS with a minor in computer science, they bring both domain depth and computational rigor, and a designer’s sensibility for making results accessible.
