Rory Donovan-Maiye

I work at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence on AI for biology and human health.

Previously, I was at Novo Nordisk, training and applying multimodal biological foundation models to extracting knowledge from high dimensional experimental data.

Before that, I was a Sr. Modeling Scientist at the Allen Institute for Cell Science and a postdoc at the Institute for Systems Biology with the Hood-Price Lab.

I went to grad school at CMU & Pitt, where I was advised by Dan Zuckerman, and worked with Jim Faeder, Chris Langmead, Markus Dittrich, Bob Murphy, and Takis Benos.
