Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElaina Graham is a bioinformatic software engineer with a Ph.D. in Biology and nine years of experience building scalable, production-grade NGS workflows across Illumina, Nanopore, PacBio HiFi and IsoSeq data. She led metagenomics, long-read sequencing, variant detection, and transcriptomics projects at Viridos—where she built an end-to-end Nextflow long-read pipeline on AWS and maintained the company metagenomics stack—and later contributed to RNA-Seq tooling and workflow migrations at Plasmidsaurus. Comfortable at the interface of wet lab and computation, she pairs hands-on HMW DNA extraction and library-prep experience with expertise in Python, R, Nextflow, Snakemake, AWS and R Shiny dashboards to deliver reproducible, team-facing tools. Her PhD work applied machine learning and assembly-based approaches to improve genome recovery and gene annotation from complex metagenomes, and she’s known for turning exploratory experiments into robust, deployable pipelines. Based in San Bruno, she’s now focused on roles that expand her engineering impact in genomic research and bioinformatics platform development.
