Senior🎓
Top SchoolDenis Machado is an Assistant Professor and bioinformatics scientist with a PhD from Universidade de São Paulo and nine years of experience combining molecular biology, phylogenetics, and machine learning to tackle comparative genomics and viral evolution. He has 10+ years of wet-lab expertise in high-throughput sequencing (Illumina, PacBio, Hi-C) and 5+ years applying predictive modeling, deep learning, and large-scale data pipelines to problems such as SARS-CoV-2 variant classification and protein structure prediction. Denis develops and deploys bioinformatics tools and web pipelines—having created the first gene prediction/annotation programs for Flaviviridae—and maintains strong computational fluency across AWS, Linux, Git, Python, R, SQL and Monte Carlo methods. He teaches and has built curricula in bioinformatics from introductory courses to specialized comparative genomics, bringing rare cross-disciplinary fluency between hands-on lab work and scalable computational systems. Based in Charlotte, NC, he pairs peer-reviewed publications in top journals with practical deployments and online databases that make complex genomic analyses accessible to collaborators.
