S. Shawn Morrison

I am a PhD-trained molecular biologist with over five years of experience in translational research, strategic consulting, and interdisciplinary data analysis. My work spans cancer genomics, synthetic biology, and precision diagnostics, with a strong emphasis on converting scientific complexity into real-world impact. I have led high-stakes research initiatives in academic and applied settings, analyzed 1000+ biospecimens, developed protocols adopted across institutions, and authored peer-reviewed publications.

Beyond the lab, I am passionate about supporting health equity, mentoring the next generation of scientists, and bridging the gap between science and strategy. Whether guiding clinical projects, advising fundraising campaigns, or optimizing professional documentation, I bring clarity, rigor, and insight to every challenge.

As an independent research consultant, I have led more than 20 analytic and reporting projects involving biographical and financial profiling, institutional due diligence, and global stakeholder mapping. I’ve synthesized data from over 1,000 biospecimens into actionable insights for strategic decision-making, and authored multiple peer-reviewed publications based on quantitative evaluations of chemokine receptor variants in cancer populations. These experiences have honed my ability to deliver high-quality research outputs that guide policy, fundraising strategy, and relationship development.

My background in molecular biology and public health research empowers me to interpret complex datasets through both a technical and human lens. Whether coordinating wealth screenings, creating prospect pipelines, or advising on risk mitigation, I approach each initiative with precision, clarity, and a keen sensitivity to organizational impact.
