Dmitrii Meleshko is a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with 11 years of experience combining rigorous academia and hands-on software development in computational biology. Currently based in New York, he balances industry work at Biotech Campus with academic duties at ITMO, and is completing graduate studies in Computational Biology and Medicine at Cornell. His background spans C++ scientific software, genome assembly contributions (notably performance and edge-case fixes to the widely used SPAdes assembler), and algorithmic bioinformatics research from St. Petersburg University. Comfortable across research, teaching, and production code, he brings a rare mix of information-security training and deep algorithmic expertise to biotech problems. Colleagues describe him as a New Yorker at heart and an enthusiastic geek, with a Google Scholar profile reflecting an active publication record.
