about:Calico Life Sciences - Head of Data Platform

I'm leading a newly formed software engineering team. We work closely with computational biologists, machine learning experts, and scientists to create and maintain a platform to derive insights from data produced by Calico, by Calico’s collaborators, and from publicly available sources. Relevant data spans multiple organisms (from yeast to human), scales (from entire organisms to molecules), data modalities (from physiology to sequencing to imaging to free text), and time scales (from single time points to continuous time series). The team will build and maintain a data warehouse that stores this data in an organized format with metadata, and allows easy exploration, analysis, and visualization of this data by our scientists. The team will also help develop and maintain a repository of scalable, reusable tools for data processing and visualization, machine learning, and natural language processing.
