Sameer Soi

VP, Data & AI Abalone Bio

With experiences spanning health tech, synthetic biology, and drug discovery, Dr. Soi has spearheaded initiatives leveraging data and machine learning to drive impact for patients.

At Atomwise, as Director of Drug Discovery Data Science, he led the development of uncertainty quantification methods for deep learning models of small molecule binding as well as tools for evaluating and improving similarity-based searches for hit-to-lead generation.

At Zymergen, he managed the productionization of statistical and machine learning models that supported the company’s portfolio of high- throughput screening projects. Before that, at Grand Rounds (now Included Health) he engineered a platform enabling the scaling of machine learning for clinical outcomes models across indications for which he received a patent.
