Jan-Christian Hütter
About
I develop methods for the analysis of omics data, in particular in the context of large-scale high-content perturbation screens. These screens enable mapping out functional properties of genes and gene-regulatory networks at unprecedented scale. To draw conclusions from the associated data, I harness mathematical, statistical, and machine learning methods methods such as statistical optimal transport and differentiable causal discovery.
Currently, I am a Principal Computational Scientist in the Cellular and Tissue Genomics and the AIML departments at Genentech. Before, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Regev group at the Broad Institute (co-advised by Caroline Uhler in 2021) and obtained my PhD at MIT in 2019 under the supervision of Philippe Rigollet.
