Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrett Olsen is a Staff Computational Biologist with 11 years of experience bridging academic biophysics and industrial bioinformatics to deliver production-grade single-cell and clinical sequencing pipelines. At 10x Genomics he led major CellRanger developments for GEM-X, scATAC, and joint scATAC/GEX products, and previously automated and improved clinical variant pipelines at Invitae, cutting manual review and confirmation workloads dramatically. Trained as a PhD molecular and cellular biologist with deep expertise in molecular dynamics and membrane biophysics, he pairs rigorous computational modeling and experimental validation with practical tooling and pipeline engineering. He’s comfortable moving between algorithm development, QC metric design, and shipping robust software for high-throughput assays, and has a track record of turning complex biological problems into scalable analyses. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he also has a history of teaching and open-source tooling for scientific analysis, reflecting a knack for clear technical communication and reproducible research.
