Ph.D., Senior Director of Translational Genetics & Data Science, Arrowhead Pharma
Biography
Shicheng Guo isSenior Director of Translational Genetics & Data Science at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, where I lead human-genetics-driven target discovery and biomarker strategy for RNA-based therapeutics. Dr. Guo's work sits where human data, genomics, and AI meet drug development — using population-scale biology, biobanks, and real-world evidence to power an end-to-end, AI-native discovery engine, increasingly orchestrated by agentic AI systems that reason, plan, and act across the target-to-medicine pipeline.
