Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarolyn Tarpey is a Senior Associate Scientist and bioinformatics professional based in Seattle with over a decade of hands-on experience analyzing next-generation sequencing data and managing molecular genomics labs. She has bridged academic and industry work—from developing pooled whole-genome pipelines for non-model species on cloud platforms to delivering ultra-accurate duplex sequencing analyses for clinical and R&D partners. Carolyn combines population genomics expertise (GTseq panels, fisheries genetics) with practical data curation and publication-ready dataset preparation, ensuring reproducible results for both research and regulatory contexts. Comfortable leading busy shared labs and collaborating across institutions, she has a track record of translating ecological and conservation questions into robust computational workflows. A detail-oriented scientist, she’s also skilled at validating assay compatibility across sequencing platforms, a less obvious strength that supports cross-technology adoption and client success.
