Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Eddy is a Principal Scientist and computational biologist with 12+ years applying engineering, data science, and reproducible software to accelerate biomedical discovery. He has led informatics and biocomputing teams at Sage Bionetworks and now advises ARPA-H while serving in a principal role at Avantiqor, blending hands-on technical leadership with policy-facing science advisory work. His work focuses on building infrastructure, standards, and community platforms that enable open, collaborative research across academia and industry. Trained with a PhD in Bioengineering from UIUC, he bridges experimental design and data-driven discovery, championing open-source, open-access practices to make complex analyses auditable and shareable. Less obvious: he moves fluidly between deep technical contributions and ecosystem-level coordination, scaling not just tools but the communities that sustain them.
