Kevin Ha, Ph.D.

Head of Data Science, Genomics

Kevin joined BioSymetrics in March 2019, with a background in molecular genetics (Ph.D.) and human genetics and bioinformatics (M.Sc., B.Sc.). During his Ph.D. he was a recipient of a CIHR Doctoral Research Award, and has published in journals such as Genome Biology and Nature Communications. He gained industry experience developing open source bioinformatics software at Microsoft Research, and has a track record of delivering successful projects involving genomics, cancer, and CRISPR.

Having studied in the biomedical field for many years, I was looking for new opportunities that would allow me to continue making a positive impact in peoples' lives. Joining BioSymetrics felt like the right opportunity to do just that – working on rewarding real-world challenges in the field. Last but not least, it's been a pleasure working with so many talented individuals on the team!
