Summary
Fathi Elloumi is a Staff Scientist based in Bethesda with 11 years of focused bioinformatics and software engineering experience, currently applying advanced RNA‑Seq and microarray analysis at the National Cancer Institute. He combines a strong academic foundation (PhD in Computer Science) with industry and government roles spanning bioinformatics pipeline development, algorithm design, and data modeling. Fathi has built production-ready workflows (Snakemake/Python, R) and led technical teams to formalize RNA‑Seq best practices while also teaching and mentoring scientists in analytical methods. His career bridges computational research and applied systems—implementing knowledge‑management platforms, text‑mining tools, and genomic signature discovery—highlighting a rare blend of algorithmic depth and hands-on software delivery. Not obvious from his title, he began as a computer science educator and retains a knack for turning complex biological questions into reproducible, well‑engineered code and analyses.
