Summary
Felix Beaudry is a postdoctoral research fellow and clinical genome interpreter with a decade of experience managing whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing for cancer research and clinical reporting. He focuses on the genomics of pancreatic and biliary tract cancers, applying evolutionary theory and advanced bioinformatics to trace cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis and to inform translational decision-making. At OICR and Princess Margaret he has bridged computational pipeline development, statistical validation of biomarkers, and regulatory-quality clinical data systems to deliver actionable reports for molecular tumour boards. His background in population and quantitative genetics, plus earlier work in plant and bird genomics, gives him an unusual breadth for teasing apart complex variant effects and adapting methods across species. He is also invested in improving how genomic findings are communicated to clinicians and patients, redesigning data communication strategies to enhance understanding and uptake.
