About


Tyler Kent

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Genomics at AbbVie in North Chicago.

Briefly, I am a problem-solver at heart and absolutely enjoy solving big biological questions through innovative computational and statistical techniques. I have developed three software packages (in C++, python and R) for wider use in the community, with over 25,000 downloads in total. I have contributed to complex data analysis in eight peer-reviewed publications in fields ranging from immunology to entomology. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to transforming big biological questions into actionable, data-driven solutions. You can find me on LinkedIn.

Outside of work, I enjoy meeting new people and making them laugh. I also enjoy thinking about how the world is shaped and seeing common patterns emerge across vastly different societies. On days when I’m blessed by the Divine Providence, I attempt putting these thoughts into writing.
