Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Richter is a bioinformatics programmer-analyst with 13 years of experience turning biological questions into robust computational systems, analyses, and publications. Based in San Diego, he currently drives microbiome and host-transcriptome studies at UC San Diego Health, designing experiments, maintaining lab infrastructure, and mentoring students while performing longitudinal, circadian, network, and multi-omics analyses. A strong coder and systems thinker, he is fluent in Python, Perl, and shell scripting and previously led large-scale projects as a senior engineer at the J. Craig Venter Institute. He combines bench-aware biological insight with pragmatic software engineering, making him an effective troubleshooter who bridges wet lab and computation. Unusually, his work emphasizes reproducible pipelines and real-time monitoring of transgenic microbial interventions in mouse models, reflecting both experimental ownership and production-grade tooling.
