Summary
Andrey Ptitsyn is an accomplished bioinformatics and computational genomics leader with 25+ years of experience building research programs, HPC infrastructure, and analytical pipelines for academic, clinical and commercial projects. He has led national-scale genome initiatives, designed cluster and cloud architectures for population sequencing, and translated genomic AI/ML into diagnostic and engineering workflows as Head of AI and CSO roles. A hands-on scientist and inventor, he discovered novel molecular mechanisms in cellular chronobiology, developed whole-genome composition and super-scaffolding algorithms, and doubled IP portfolios through patentable innovations. Comfortable from low-level algorithms to high-throughput cloud systems, he has a track record of mentoring researchers, securing funding, and turning complex multi-modal data into actionable insight. He mixes deep academic rigor (PhD in Bioinformatics) with practical startup and consulting impact, including sequencing and annotating new genomes such as Aplysia and Homarus. Based in Revere, MA, he continues independent research and teaching while consulting on translational genomics and AI-driven biomarker platforms.
