Renée has also previously served as the VP of Computational Biology & Translational Informatics at QuartzBio from January 2019 to December 2021, and as the VP of Biology and Bioinformatics at PatientsLikeMe from January 2016 to December 2019.

At PatientsLikeMe, Deehan was responsible for data and knowledge engineering, AI/machine-learning, and translational biology functions that drove infrastructure and consumer & business product development. Renée was also the Principal Investigator for the DigitalMe Ignite program, which collected longitudinal blood and patient-generated health data from over 5,000 at-home site visits from over 2,000 participants. Deehan was able to generate over 2M data points from the DigitalMe program.

Deehan also designed and cross-functionally implemented the first generation of an “advanced research platform”, capable of integrating survey and omics data for biomarker analysis, including ensemble-based machine-learning pipelines. Additionally, they developed an outsourced pipeline to support their wet-lab omics needs (DNA/RNAseq, proteomics, immune sequencing/antibody repertoire analysis, metabolomics, methylomics).

Renée Deehan has a Ph.D in Molecular and Cell Biology from University of California, Berkeley, a BSE in Bioengineering from University of Pennsylvania, and a degree from Newton North High School.

Their manager is Rony Sellam, CEO. They are on a team with Eric Freedman - VP Marketing, Slava Brodskiy - VP Technology Infrastructure & Security, and Tara Hendricks - VP Finance & Administration.
