Summary
Deepak Purushotham is a Senior Scientific Data Architect with 11 years of experience building automation-driven genomics infrastructure that bridges lab hardware, cloud platforms, and bioinformatics workflows. He has led end-to-end automation and digital integration efforts at Moderna and now at TetraScience, optimizing NGS throughput, reducing costs, and improving reproducibility through custom Benchling and cloud solutions. Deepak’s background ranges from production-scale NGS pipelines and contamination detection to full-stack genomic data portals and visualization (including contributions to the WashU Epigenome Browser), enabling consortium-wide data sharing. Equally comfortable with hands-on pipeline engineering and vendor orchestration, he translates scientific requirements into robust, auditable systems on AWS. Based in Cambridge, MA, he combines deep bioinformatics expertise with practical automation know-how to accelerate discovery in genomics.
