Lin Gan is a cell biologist with extensive experience in using cell-based high-throughput screens, functional genomics and imaging to understand signal transduction and identify novel therapeutic targets. As a Sr. Scientist in Arrayed Screening, Lin helps to build and operate a high-throughput screening platform and collaborates closely with the machine learning, process engineering, and genetic and disease modeling teams to generate high-quality datasets for model building.

Lin received a B.A. in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard University and decided to pursue basic science research after working on C. elegans aging in Dr. Gary Ruvkun’s lab. She did her graduate work with Dr. Tobias Meyer at Stanford University, where she conducted a microscopy-based, genome-wide siRNA screen that led to the discovery of a family of novel GPCRs that regulate mTOR. Lin gained drug discovery experience developing therapeutics for selective mTORC1 inhibition as a SPARK scholar during her postdoctoral studies at Stanford.

Prior to joining insitro, Lin worked at Rigel Pharmaceuticals focusing on small molecule screens and mechanism of action studies for immunological diseases.

In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities, spending time with her family, and dancing.
