// Abstract
Flaviu talks about the internal ML platform at Dyno Therapeutics called Hera. His team uses Hera as an internal innovation engine to help discover new breakthroughs with machine learning in the biotech healthcare industry.
// Bio
Flaviu is a Senior Software Engineer at Dyno Therapeutics, the leading organization in the design of novel gene therapy vectors with transformative delivery properties for a vast landscape of human diseases. Flaviu comes from a background focused on Bioinformatics, which is a field that combines Computer Science, Mathematics, and Biology. He took stints in academia by working as a research assistant in Computer Science and Bioinformatics labs before joining Dyno Therapeutics to work on machine-guided design of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs).
At Dyno, Flaviu works on compute and core infrastructure, DevOps, MLOps, and approaches that combine AI/ML to design AAVs in silico. He is also the author and maintainer of Hera, a Python SDK that facilitates access to Argo Workflows by making workflow construction and submission easy and accessible.
