Senior🎓
Top SchoolStanley Lazic is a computational biologist and co-founder/CSO with over a decade of post-PhD research and nine years of industry experience building probabilistic predictive models for drug discovery and healthcare. He translates complex biological questions into rigorous statistical models, specializing in Bayesian machine learning, experimental design, and analysis of heterogeneous high-dimensional data. Stanley has led quantitative biology teams at AstraZeneca, researched at Novartis and Roche, and now steers Prioris.ai’s client-facing probabilistic modeling practice. He also serves on CHDI Foundation’s Independent Statistical Standing Committee and wrote a book on experimental design to improve reproducibility—an indication of his commitment to principled, decision-focused science. Grounded in a PhD from Cambridge and interdisciplinary training across biology, chemistry, and psychology, he combines academic depth with startup pragmatism to accelerate translational impact.
