Enes Senel.Computational biologyand machine learning.

Senior Scientist at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, where I lead single-cell multi-omics work in oncology and immunology. Ten years of machine learning before and around that — spatial transcriptomics, pharmaceutical QC, medical robotics.

Focus

Single-cell multi-omics for therapeutics

Technical lead at J&J Innovative Medicine. I set the analytical approach for oncology and immunology programs, mentor scientists, and make sure the results are usable by clinical and CMC teams.

Methods

Open-source tools other labs use

PhD on machine learning for spatial transcriptomics at the Max Delbrück Center. Author of Optocoder, co-first author on novoSpaRc, co-inventor on a US patent.

Background

Computer science first

CS degrees in Istanbul and Munich. Before biology: real-time computer vision for image-guided biopsy robots and deep learning for pharmaceutical QC.
