Nathan Guerin, PhD

Director of Engineering

Nathan has a passion for developing software techniques to attack hard scientific problems. At Ten63, he leads the engineering team that is responsible for the development and implementation of state of the art algorithms for predicting molecular candidates for therapeutics. Prior to joining Ten63, Nathan developed open source protein design software for predicting mutations that induce resistance in drug protein targets, architected an industrial-scale instrument monitoring system used by the world’s largest metabolomics platform, and led mobile development teams that built apps used by tens of millions of smartphone users.

Nathan earned his PhD in Computer Science under Dr. Bruce Donald at Duke University, where he developed novel computational methods to prospectively predict resistance to cancer therapeutics and designed de novo D-peptide inhibitors. He went to the University of North Carolina for his undergraduate degree, concentrating in mastering the Chinese language. A licensed pilot, Nathan enjoys flying, hiking, and cooking in his free time. He currently lives in Raleigh with his partner, who runs a writing school for adults, and their two adorable dogs.
