Adrian Veres

Adrian is a biologist most satisfied by combining expermental and

computational approaches to study complex systems. He obtained

his PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University, working with

Prof. Douglas Melton on diferentiating pancreatic beta cells in vitro to

create cell-based therapies for diabetes. He collaborated closely with

Semma Therapeutics on applying single-cell RNA sequencing to

map in vitro beta cell differentiation, and pooled genetic screening to

control this process. Adrian is a Havard University Presidential

Scholar and previously received a Harvard Stem Cell Institute Medical

Scientist Training Fellowship. He graduated summa cum laude with

an A.B. in Physics and Chemistry from Harvard College, during which

he studied the evolutionary dynamics of antibiotic resistance in

microbes. He is an MD candidate in the Harvard-MIT Health

Sciences and Technology program. Adrian loves to cook, travel and

hike and always enjoys a good new board game.
