Candice Byers

After completing her post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute for Experiential AI and Northeastern University’s Roux Institute, Candice accepted a full-time role as a Research Scientist in a co-appointment with the Roux Institute and The Jackson Laboratory. She is developing and implementing machine learning frameworks (lab-in-the-loop) to discover points of intervention within a gene regulatory network to alter disease outcomes. Her efforts will inform utility of in vitro systems to predict in vivo outcomes, discover therapeutic targets, and improve abilities to model both normal development and disease.

She completed her BS in biochemistry at Simmons College, PhD in genetics at Tufts University in Boston in cooperation with The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, and held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Roux Institute and Institute for Experiential AI.
