Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristina Zakarian is a bioinformatics analyst with eight years of experience bridging wet-lab research and computational genomics, currently working at the University of Washington while completing an MS in Bioinformatics and Genomics. She has built and optimized NGS pipelines for variant calling and low-frequency circulating tumor DNA detection, developed QC tool suites and a Django web app, and tuned workflows in AWS/Linux environments using Python, R, Bash and standard bioinformatics toolkits. Her background as a hands-on research technician in hematopoietic stem-cell and infectious disease projects gives her a practical appreciation for experimental constraints and reproducibility. Christina has validated copy-number and low-VAF detection down to 0.1% in spike-in experiments and translated sequencing run insights into lab and protocol improvements. She communicates technical results clearly to both executives and bench scientists and has presented pipeline work at a genomics conference. Based in Seattle, she combines strong experimental instincts with production-focused coding to deliver fit-for-purpose genomic analysis solutions.
