Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhe Wang is a computational biologist with a decade of experience bridging bioinformatics, single-cell transcriptomics, and mass-spectrometry proteomics. Over six years in computational biology—including five focused on scRNA-seq—he maintains and develops Bioconductor packages (scruff, Celda, singleCellTK) that power reproducible single-cell workflows. At companies from Dicerna to Novo Nordisk he’s translated large-scale sequencing data into actionable insights, supported RNAi design and off-target analysis, and built production-ready pipelines. Proficient in R, Python, Bash and C/C++, he combines deep algorithmic skill with hands-on experimental familiarity, uniquely enabling cross-talk between wet-lab and computational teams. Based in Arlington, MA, he pairs a PhD in bioinformatics with practical open-source stewardship that benefits the broader single-cell community.
