Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarald Detering is a postdoctoral research scientist and bioinformatician with over a decade of experience turning large biological datasets into actionable insight, currently based at the University of Lausanne. He specializes in developing and benchmarking computational tools for cancer genomics, having built a C++ simulator and reproducible pipelines (Bash, Python, Snakemake, R) for multiregional tumour variant detection and clonal deconvolution. His background spans de-novo genome assembly, functional annotation, GWAS and diverse sequencing analyses, reflecting strong computational breadth from low-level systems to end-to-end workflows. Early industry roles in web development and database engineering at Siemens give him practical software engineering discipline and client-focused problem solving. He combines rigorous PhD-level research with a pragmatic engineering mindset, often delivering tools designed for reproducibility and benchmarking rather than only novel methods.
