Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiuseppe Narzisi is an Associate Director of Computational Biology at the New York Genome Center with 12 years of experience designing algorithms and production systems for large-scale next-generation sequencing and human genetics applications. He leads the Constitutional Genomics group, managing scientists, programmers, and engineers to develop advanced methods in variant calling, genome assembly, and long-read technologies (PacBio, Oxford Nanopore) alongside Illumina pipelines. His background blends deep computational research—PhD-level algorithm design and novel assemblers/base-callers implemented in C++—with hands-on high-performance computing and methods translation into production. Known for moving cutting-edge sequencing methods from prototype to scalable workflows, he also advises and taught graduate bioinformatics programs, reflecting a commitment to training the next generation of computational geneticists.
