Summary
Andrew Wong is a bioinformatician with 13 years of experience applying software engineering to clinical sequencing workflows, currently developing and maintaining NGS analysis and reporting systems at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. He specializes in database development, pipeline automation, and CNV/RNA fusion calling using VBA, Python, Java, R and SQL, and has led validation and integration of multiple gene panels into production. His work blends hands-on scripting and legacy system modernization—updating interfaces, optimizing queries, and building monitoring tools—to scale lab throughput and reduce manual bottlenecks. Earlier roles include building genome/exome/RNA-Seq pipelines, sample-management web apps, and a thesis project on protein function prediction presented at ISMB and ACM BCB. He brings a practical clinical focus to bioinformatics, translating novel methods into validated, auditable tests used in patient care.
