Sven Jager completed his doctorate in Kay Hamacher's group (Computational Biology and Simulation) at TU Darmstadt, where he developed machine learning and graph-based approaches for the rational design of enzymes and non-coding RNA for applications in synthetic biology. Following his doctorate, he worked in Beatrix Suess's lab, focusing on the machine learning-based design of riboswitches. In 2018, Sven transitioned to Sanofi, taking on the role of Senior Data Scientist in Industrial Affairs. There, he led the development of an NLP platform for efficient document retrieval and classification. His achievements at Sanofi include the 2021 release of the Theia® mobile application to the French public, which uses computer vision technology to assist visually impaired patients. Since 2020, he has led the unstructured data search project within Ziv Bar-Joseph's team at Sanofi Digital, focusing on machine learning research in R&D, including Active Learning, Foundational Models like CodonBERT, and Generative AI. Since 2025, Sven has led the R&D Data and Computational Science Team at Sanofi, expanding his scope for AI Research on Target Discovery, translational topics, and Development at Sanofi.
