Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Marrama is an Associate Bioinformatics Specialist with eight years of experience building software and analytical pipelines to advance research in autoimmunity and infectious disease at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology. He designs production-grade tools—most notably PEPMatch for the Immune Epitope Database—that enable precise peptide/epitope searches, benchmarked workflows, and curator-facing applications. His work blends practical software engineering (Django, alignment tools, automation) with deep domain analysis, including conservation and cross-reactivity studies that inform immune response research. Daniel streamlined the IEDB protein-tree codebase for dramatic speed and accuracy gains and maintains a consistent focus on reducing technical friction to accelerate scientific discovery. Trained in mathematics and pre-medical studies, he brings quantitative rigor and an uncommon clinician-adjacent perspective to bioinformatics tool development.
