Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEuxhen Hasanaj is a research scientist at GenBio AI with a PhD in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon and eight years of experience applying ML to biotechnology and drug design. He develops multiscale foundation models to predict single-cell perturbation responses and has a track record of translating research into practical tools—examples include SenSet, a 106-gene senescence signature, and Truffle, an algorithm for integrating clinical transcriptomic time series accepted to ISMB 2024. His work spans graph learning, generative models, and biological foundation models with prior internships at Genesis Therapeutics and Sanofi focused on de novo drug design and patient stratification. Based in Palo Alto, he blends deep academic training with production ML experience across healthcare and computer vision, and often targets aging and perturbation-response biology—areas where modeling choices can reveal unexpected biological subtypes.
