Wayne Ge

Wayne Ge has a diverse and impressive work experience in the field of molecular biology and DNA analysis. Wayne has held various roles in different companies and research institutions, each contributing to their expertise in different areas.

From 2020 to present, Wayne worked at Agena Bioscience as a Staff Scientist/People/Project Manager. In this role, they successfully transformed the production of unannotated byproducts into a useful technology, streamlining the amplification workflow. Wayne also conducted research on allele-specific amplification methods for in vitro diagnosis of rare genetic variants.

Prior to that, from 2019 to 2020, Wayne worked at Plexium as a Staff Scientist. Here, they extensively utilized bead barcoding techniques and isothermal rolling cycle amplification for high-throughput analysis of DNA samples.

In 2018 to 2019, Wayne worked as an Entrepreneur at FortiusSeq, where they developed the AFT™ Linked-Reads technology, revolutionizing the process of DNA analysis. This technology combined amplification, fragmentation, and tagging into an efficient process, even allowing analysis with a single cell as input.

At Trovagene, where Wayne worked from 2017 to 2018 as a Staff Scientist, they focused on accurately determining cell-free DNA concentrations and amplifying and detecting short DNA fragments.

From 2015 to 2017, Wayne worked at Omniome Inc. as a Staff Scientist. Wayne invented Sequencing-by-mass technology, a method that utilizes mass spectrometry for highly accurate DNA sequencing. Wayne also developed isothermal clonal DNA amplification methods.

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, from 2012 to 2015, Wayne invented the hopping PCR technique for the detection of specific gene expressions in the Hadar Salmonella strain. Wayne also specialized in rRNA depletion for next-generation sequencing and pathogen detection and subtyping at Life Technologies, where they worked from 2006 to 2012.

Wayne's earlier work experience includes research scientist roles at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Western University, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania.

Overall, Wayne Ge has extensive experience and expertise in various molecular biology techniques, DNA amplification methods, DNA sequencing technologies, and pathogen detection, making significant contributions to the field of genetics and DNA analysis.

Wayne Ge earned a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Medical Biology from Nankai University from 1985 to 1989. Following this, they pursued a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Protein Chemistry from the Institute of Radiation Medicine, Beijing, China, from 1992 to 1995. Afterwards, Wayne Ge completed their education with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Molecular Pathology from the Bio-Technology Institute, Beijing, China, from 1995 to 1998.
