Takamasa Kudo

Taka Kudo, Ph.D., is a systems biologist and postdoctoral fellow at Genentech Research and Early Development. He develops experimental and computational frameworks that make single-cell imaging more quantitative, scalable, and biologically interpretable. His research combines systematic perturbation with predictive models to understand how molecular interventions shape cells and tissues. He developed PerturbView, which connects genetic perturbations to imaging phenotypes in primary immune cells and tissues, and PerturbPair, which integrates imaging with gene-expression measurements to predict molecular responses. Kudo earned his Ph.D. in Chemical and Systems Biology from Stanford University. His broader goal is to make complex cellular and tissue behaviors measurable and predictable at the scale of functional genomics.
