Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Brundu is a Staff Bioinformatics Scientist in San Diego with 13 years of experience applying computational engineering to genomics, spanning academia and industry. He has driven production-grade CNV and cytogenetic features in Illumina’s DRAGEN platform, improving allele-aware copy-number state detection, mosaic and low-purity tumor calling, and segmental-duplication support for clinically relevant genes. His background includes single-cell transcriptomics method development at Columbia and PhD-level training in control and computer engineering, giving him rare fluency at the intersection of ML, systems programming (Python/C++), and genomics. Colleagues rely on him for prototyping, rigorous code review, and translating collaborator needs into publishable analyses and products. He combines a strong engineering pedigree with hands-on contributions to high-impact sequencing projects and a habit of designing practical checks (e.g., model plausibility via essential regions) that catch subtle failure modes.
