Hi!
I’m Caitlin Simopoulos, a Sr. Computational Biologist and Data Scientist currently working for Roche with scientists at Genentech. My current research focuses on airway regeneration through single cell RNA sequencing.
I’m also extremely passionate about science communication and outreach. I love volunteering as a mentor promoting gender equality in STEM fields and promoting science literacy through open conversations and classroom visits.
When I’m not sciencing, you’ll find me riding my bike, practicing yoga, snuggling with my cats, or taking my giant Bernese Mountain Dog for a hike!
