Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHelge Weissig is a seasoned technology leader and research informatics expert with 12+ years guiding drug discovery teams and delivering end-to-end informatics solutions across academia and industry. He has led strategic initiatives at Schrödinger and served as senior director for global research informatics and IT, translating scientific needs into scalable software, data pipelines, and validated analytics that accelerate discovery. Equally comfortable designing LIMS and integrating lab automation as he is mentoring teams, Helge blends deep domain knowledge in genomics, proteomics, and structural biology with practical engineering across cloud, on-prem, and instrument integrations. An active contributor to open-source RF reverse-engineering (enhancing rtl_433 device decoders), he brings a hands-on curiosity for signal-level and systems problems beyond typical bioinformatics stacks. Based in Carlsbad, CA, he pairs a PhD in molecular biology with a track record of driving cross-functional collaboration and adopting cutting-edge technologies to solve new data challenges.
