Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrederick Matsen is an investigator and professor based in Seattle with 16 years of experience applying advanced computational methods to problems in evolution and adaptive immunology. Holding a PhD in Mathematics from Harvard and a BS from Stanford, he blends deep theoretical training with hands-on interdisciplinary research leadership at Fred Hutch and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He leads a research group and broad collaborator network that develops next-generation computational tools for analyzing immune repertoires and evolutionary dynamics. Known for tackling hard, quantitative biological problems, he also actively recruits across career stages and fosters collaborative, cross-institutional projects. An intellectually curious mathematician-turned-biologist, he bridges rigorous theory and practical software-driven discovery in immunology.
