Devin Porter

Senior Scientist - Functional Genomics @Champions Oncology, Inc.

Rockville, MD, US

Develop and optimize DRUG-seq workflows: Implement high-throughput, cost-effective bulk RNA sequencing methods to generate transcriptome-wide profiles from compound- and siRNA-treated organoid cultures, elucidating mechanisms of action and off-target effects.• Perform treatments on PDX-derived organoid (PDXO) models: Utilize patient-derived organoid cultures that preserve tumor genomics and drug sensitivity, serving as predictive platforms for functional screening.• Analyze gene-expression and Functional data: Interpret transcriptomic datasets from DRUG-seq assays to inform early-stage drug discovery efforts, including compound prioritization, biomarker identification, and mechanistic insights.
