As a teenager, Eric was on the leading junior cycling team in Latvia.
Jacqueline has been working in biostatistics and bioinformatics for over 15 years, starting in cardiology research at the TIMI Study Group at Harvard Medical School before working in Alzheimer’s Disease genetics at Boston University and in biomarker discovery for cancer immunotherapies at the Hammer Lab. Most recently she was the Lead Biostatistician at the Institute for Next Generation Health Care at Mount Sinai. She is the author of the survivalstan package and a contributor to the rstanarm package.
Luka leads our software architecture and development of the Generable platform. Prior to Generable, Luka built a full-stack software infrastructure at Reonomy including data integration, machine learning, algorithm development, and user-facing APIs.
