Senior🎓
Top SchoolErnesto Gallego is a Senior Bioinformatician based in Cambridge with 11 years’ experience applying computational genomics to precision medicine and cancer research. He has built and productionised numerous NGS pipelines and scientific software—from multi-caller somatic variant discovery workflows to BAM QC and benchmarking tools—while managing compute infrastructure and containerised deployments. His background combines a PhD in Immunogenetics and Evolutionary Biology with an MSc in Biostatistics, giving him deep domain knowledge in variant interpretation and rigorous quantitative skills. At EMBL-EBI he contributed pipelines and a Python package used for large-scale data releases (1000 Genomes, HGSV, HGDP), and now leads somatic variant identification efforts at Biofidelity. Colleagues rely on him for translating complex experimental goals into robust, reproducible analyses and scalable tooling. Beyond routine pipeline work, he has a track record of enabling community data releases and web infrastructure for major genomics consortia.
