Job title: Lab Head

Bio:

Sourav Choudhury is a Lab Head in the Genomics Medicine Unit at Sanofi, based in Framingham, MA. He joined Sanofi in 2020 to lead AAV Technologies Laboratory, a platform group focused on AAV capsid engineering and AAV immunology.

Sourav obtained his Ph.D. from UMASS Medical School for his work on development of novel CNS-tropic AAV capsids. He did his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Feng Zhang at Broad Institute, demonstrating the first in vivo application of CRISPR nuclease Cas12a. Sourav has since worked in Cambridge-based early stage biotechs, first at Intellia Therapeutics designing AAV-based genome editing tools, and then at LogicBio Therapeutics, where he led early-discovery stage indication selection.
