Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Hannigan is a senior leader in quantitative biology with 16 years of experience building and scaling genomics and translational informatics teams across industry innovators like Generate Biomedicines, Inscripta, and DNAnexus. He pairs a Ph.D. in Genomics and Computational Biology with hands-on experience designing cloud-native NGS pipelines, GWAS toolsets, and user-focused bioinformatics products that bridge R&D and commercial adoption. Brett has repeatedly led cross-functional science, product and partnership efforts—driving customer co-development, training programs, and strategic alliances (notably with sequencing vendors and China-region partners). His background in electrical engineering and earlier algorithmic work (including high-performance C++ signal and image processing) gives him a rare systems-level perspective on scaling computational biology workflows. Colocated in Colorado, he combines technical depth with business development savvy to turn complex genomic requirements into practical, deployable platforms.
