Benjamin H.

Computational Biologist II at Lyell Immunopharma

Benjamin H. started their work experience in 2012 as a Summer Research Student at the National Institutes of Health, where they worked on independent projects and assisted with others related to G Beta 5, Rgs7bp, and Cas9/CRISPR. Benjamin then moved on to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2015 as a Summer Research Intern, where they focused on modeling action potentials and ion channels critical to the heart's function using GPU parallel computing. In 2016, they worked as a URP at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, conducting a project on the functional analysis of ectopic germline gene expression in cancer. Their next role at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was as a PHD Student from 2017 to 2021, where they analyzed large-scale scRNAseq data to explain the co-regulatory relationship of genes in cell types and identify robust signatures of cell types. Currently, Benjamin H. is working at Lyell Immunopharma as a Computational Biologist, a role they have been in since November 2021.

Benjamin H.'s education history begins in 2013 when they enrolled at Colgate University. Benjamin pursued a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Biology and Computer Science, completing their studies in 2017.

Following their undergraduate degree, Benjamin H. moved on to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2017 to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computational Biology. Benjamin spent four years at the laboratory, completing their doctoral studies in 2021.

Based on the provided information, Benjamin H.'s educational journey includes a bachelor's degree in Biology and Computer Science from Colgate University and a PhD in Computational Biology from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
