Background

About Brian Yu

I am an interdisciplinary, technical knowledge leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling technologies at the intersection of next-generation sequencing (NGS), assay development, lab automation, bioinformatics, and AI, with an interest in driving high-throughput multi-omics applications. I am passionate about building innovative platforms that bridge experimental and computational approaches. Previously, I spearheaded the development of genomic platforms tailored for applications like perturb-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, and metagenomics. I built modular liquid handling platforms for high-throughput sample preparation and human microbiome research. I developed cloud-native software platforms to streamline data analyses. As an experienced functional manager, I bring a proven record of scientific and strategic leadership: building and developing high-performing teams, fostering cross-functional collaborations, and providing clear visions to translate innovation into impact. I am deeply motivated by opportunities to harness genomics, computation, and automation to tackle complex biological or translational problems.
