Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandros Kanterakis is a Product Manager and Lead Bioinformatician with over 14 years of hands-on experience building reproducible genomics workflows, clinical genetics products, and federated learning models for healthcare. He combines deep academic credentials (PhD, 29 papers, h-index 15) with strong engineering chops in Python, Django, Nextflow/Snakemake, cloud-native deployments (AWS, Docker, Terraform) and frontend stacks, leading cross-functional teams from research prototypes to regulated clinical products. At MyEngene® he drives end-to-end product delivery—PGx tests, PRS, variant prioritization and pharmacovigilance—while ensuring traceability, security and regulatory compliance (ISO, HIPAA, GDPR, FDA). He has a track record of high-volume GitHub activity and long-standing involvement in EU-funded projects that produced tools like MutationInfo, Zazz and OpenBio, reflecting a blend of open science and productization. Notably, he leverages federated learning to enable privacy-preserving clinical models, a less obvious but increasingly critical thread tying his research and product work.
