Shaun Peterson, Ph.D., Lead Data Analyst and Bioinformatician
Shaun is Lead Data Analyst and Bioinformatician at Rumi Scientific. He earned his BS in Biology from Boston College and conducted graduate research on DNA repair at Columbia University. His postdoctoral work at Memorial Sloan Kettering focused on homology-directed repair during mouse meiosis, contributing to a revised model of mammalian recombination.
At Rumi, Shaun has built computational tools that power analyses across transcriptomics, proteomics, and high-throughput screening. His work includes deep-learning models, phenotype classification, and genome assembly pipelines.
Outside the lab, Shaun enjoys sci-fi shows, video games, brunches with friends, live music, and drag performances.
