Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Joyce is a PhD candidate in Biomedical Data Science with nine years of experience at the intersection of molecular biology and software engineering, currently advancing genomic bioinformatics research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He brings hands-on expertise from roles at Epic—where he built clinician-facing web apps, automated security testing, and developed time-to-event models in collaboration with the CDC—to research positions focused on oligonucleotide design and transcriptome analysis. Equally comfortable with full-stack development (React/ASP.NET), statistical modeling, and bioinformatics pipelines, he has a track record of translating complex biological questions into reproducible computational solutions. Brendan also has a knack for performance tuning and teaching, having optimized SQL workflows for external researchers and guided large cohorts of students through applied data science. Based in Gaithersburg, MD, he leverages dual bachelor’s degrees in computer science and molecular biology to bridge lab and production environments, with a particular interest in practical applications of genomic data for clinical and therapeutic discovery.
