Senior🎓
Top SchoolAsier Uriarte is a seasoned bioinformatician with 11 years of experience across academia, research institutes and healthcare startups, currently enabling researcher access to genomics data at Genomics England. He has deep expertise in genomics workflows, from RNA-seq experimental design and long-read genome assembly to scalable variant-calling pipelines that run on both HPC and cloud platforms. His background spans data integration at EMBL-EBI’s Open Targets platform, building benchmarking and federated cloud infrastructure at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and clinical pipeline delivery at Genomcore. Comfortable with workflow languages (WDL, Nextflow, CWL), containerisation, and AWS, he combines meticulous attention to detail with practical engineering for reproducible analyses. He’s equally at ease liaising with domain scientists and data providers as he is tuning performance across diverse computational environments. A cross-disciplinary thinker trained in telecommunications and applied bioinformatics, he brings a rare mix of systems-level engineering and hands-on genomics experience.
