Top SchoolIgnacio Medina is a bioinformatics founder and technical leader with 11 years of experience building genomics software, currently serving as Founder, CEO and CTO of Zetta Genomics and Head of the Computational Biology Lab at the University of Cambridge. He combines dual training in biochemistry and computer science to deliver end-to-end genomic data platforms spanning microarray and NGS analysis, biological networks, machine learning and scalable pipelines. Ignacio has led large-scale projects at Genomics England and EMBL-EBI and architected HPC, GPU and distributed solutions (MPI, CUDA, Hadoop, NoSQL/HBase) to process population-scale datasets. A seasoned software engineer in Java, C/C++, Python and Perl, he bridges research and product by shipping robust RESTful services, visualization tools and cloud-native architectures. Less obvious: he repeatedly moves between hands-on algorithm development and executive leadership, keeping deep technical ownership while scaling companies and lab groups.
