About
Renée Deehan, PhD is VP Science and Artificial Intelligence at InsideTracker, where she leads the science team and the AI engine behind the personalized nutrition and biomarker analytics platform out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. A computational biologist by training — PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and BSE in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania — she joined in February 2022 and was promoted to Senior Vice President by 2025. Her career has centered on systems biology, biomarker analytics, and multi-omics data integration: prior senior roles include Chief Scientific Officer at Selventa, VP Biology and Bioinformatics at PatientsLikeMe (where she ran the DigitalMe multi-modal health-measurement program), and VP Computational Biology at QuartzBio / Precision for Medicine. She also serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of Sensorium Therapeutics.
What to Know
Signature approach
Deehan leads the science team behind the SegterraX analysis engine and the Terra AI assistant — turning the literature on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle into actionable, personalized recommendations. The work is dataset-first: architecting and mining what InsideTracker calls the world's largest dataset of blood, DNA, fitness-tracker, and phenotypic data from healthy people, then calibrating algorithms (most recently the Healthspan Habits Score) so users see one or two evidence-backed habits to focus on each week.
What sets them apart
- Two-decade computational biology arc. Prior CSO at Selventa, VP roles at PatientsLikeMe and QuartzBio / Precision for Medicine — three of the better-known names in systems biology, multi-omics, and biomarker-driven drug development before consumer health.
- PI of the DigitalMe program at PatientsLikeMe, an early effort to digitize an individual's health through multi-modal measurement — directly thematic with what InsideTracker now does at scale.
- Active publication record — 36 indexed research works, including cited papers on anti-TNF non-response in rheumatoid arthritis and multi-omics integration; concurrent Scientific Advisory Board role at Sensorium Therapeutics.
