Kostya Yatsenko has spent over a decade at the intersection of machine learning, molecular modeling, and drug discovery. His early work at DE Shaw Research focused on molecular dynamics simulations and structure-based modeling of biomolecular systems. He later contributed to large language model research and large-scale machine learning infrastructure at Google. Today, as the lead computational chemist at Tessel Biosciences, Kostya develops AI systems that can learn from complex biological data, generalize across experimental contexts, and guide experimental design—helping accelerate drug discovery while bridging the gap between computational prediction and real-world experimentation.
