Senior🎓
Top SchoolStu Field is a Director of Data Science with nearly a decade of industry experience and 14+ years applying machine learning to biomarker discovery and proteomics. He combines deep domain expertise in life sciences and experimental design with hands-on engineering—R package development, CI/CD, Docker, and reproducible research—to translate complex multi-omics signals into actionable diagnostics and product strategy. At SomaLogic/SomaScan he led predictive modeling and built validated, reproducible analytics pipelines, and now runs data science strategy and team growth at Cercle, aligning models with business impact and governance. Trained as an evolutionary ecologist with a PhD, he brings a quantitative, hypothesis-driven mindset to ML work and thrives in interdisciplinary teams where storytelling and context matter as much as code.
