Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Stuckey is a bioinformatics leader with 10+ years of experience building scalable genomic workflows and leading teams to deliver population-scale datasets. At Genomics England he was the principal architect for a pipeline that produced a ~78,000-sample population genomic dataset and later developed a rare variant analysis workflow used in COVID-19 research. He combines hands-on skills in workflow design, HPC, containerisation, cloud computing and Python with experience integrating electronic health records into a unified data layer for research. Now based in New Zealand, he mentors bioinformaticians while driving strategic projects that bridge genomic and clinical data. An early-career focus on evolutionary genomics and spatial transcriptomics gives him a strong grounding in both research and production environments.
