Summary
Brice Sarver is a computational geneticist and data scientist with 11 years of experience building and leading bioinformatics teams across industry, government, and academia, now serving as Global Head of Bioinformatics and Director at ZS Discovery. He specializes in high-throughput sequencing analysis, liquid biopsy/cfDNA and circulating tumor cell datasets, and has driven computational genomics efforts at Janssen and diagnostic work at Ambry and Fluxion. His background in comparative genomics, systematics, and phylogenetics informs a rigorous approach to algorithm and tool development for model and non-model organisms alike. Brice is as interested in the interplay of hardware and software in scientific workflows as he is in biological insights, often designing pipelines with production-readiness and experimental constraints in mind. With a PhD in Biology and a foundation in both biology and philosophy, he brings a hypothesis-driven, interdisciplinary perspective to translational genomics. An active researcher with publications listed on Google Scholar, he pairs hands-on technical depth with strategic leadership in building analytics platforms for complex genomic questions.
