Nicholas Borcherding, MD/PhD

Assistant Professor
Washington University St Louis
Webster Groves, Missouri

Dr Nick Borcherding, MD PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Pathology & Immunology at Washington University in St. Louis, where he splits his time between the HLA laboratory and teaching computers to understand the immune system. A board-certified clinical pathologist and ASHI Director in Training, Nick couples more than a decade of immunology with deep experience in computational biology, single-cell sequencing, and machine-learning–driven clinical research. His research focuses on untangling adaptive immune responses in transplantation, infection, and autoimmune disease, while his open-source R packages, most famously the first single-cell adaptive immune profiling pipeline scRepertoire, aim to make complex repertoire analytics as user-friendly as possible. When he isn’t debugging variational autoencoders or wrangling flow-cytometry validation data, Nick can usually be found attempting to code the entirety of his DIT portfolio or chasing his two young daughters, who have perfected stochastic optimization of bedtime. Attendees can expect an engaging, data-rich perspective on the convergence of clinical pathology and computational immunology in the deep learning era.
