Abhishek Jha

Dr. Jha received his Masters in Chemistry from IIT, Bombay and his PhD from the University of Chicago, followed by post-doctoral work on computation models of immunology at MIT. This lead to a 5-year career as a Senior Scientist at Agios Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, MA where he led Agios’s team to develop algorithms and tools to analyze metabolomic data to support multiple drug programs, developed an algorithm to integrate high-throughput metabolic data with transcriptional data and designed and deployed visualization tools for clinical data. His experience at Agios inspired him to start a business to build technology and solutions to enable data scientists like him, which became Elucidata when launched in 2015.
