Benjamin Siranosian

I'm Ben, a computational biologist and genomic detective.

Currently, I'm building the computational biology team at Pattern Biosciences. Pattern is developing "DNA computers" for cancer therapeutics, and I truly believe it's one of the most exciting and impactful biology problems of our time. More details at the company website and in my blog posts. We're always hiring across computational and synthetic biology.

Before that, I worked on computational infrastructure and data tooling at Deep Origin, and led the bioinformatics team at Loyal, an early-stage biotech startup dedicated to extending the lifespan and healthspan of dogs.

Previously, I did my PhD in Dr. Ami Bhatt's lab at Stanford University, where I used advanced genomic techniques to study the human microbiome. I'm proud to say I characterized the first examples of bacteria transmitted between the gut microbiome of adults and of phages transmitted from the gut microbiome of a mother to the gut microbiome of her infant.
