Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChoi Choi is a Principal Scientist II and computational biologist with 11 years of experience translating computer science and machine learning into practical genomics solutions across industry and research labs. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and has spent over nine postdoctoral years developing methods that reveal allele-specific signals in bulk and single-cell sequencing, producing extendable tools for multiple NGS modalities. At organizations including The Jackson Laboratory, Bristol Myers Squibb, Sana Biotechnology, and now AbbVie, he has focused on identifying pitfalls in standard analyses and delivering rigorous, deployable alternatives. His work aims to enable earlier diagnosis, better prognostics, and targeted therapies by advancing sequencing-based multi-omics strategies. Notably, he blends deep algorithmic expertise with hands-on software development to create unbiased, allele-aware pipelines that scale from research to production.
