Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Gallant is a Senior Scientist in Bioinformatics with nine years of experience applying machine learning and omics to real-world molecular biology problems, currently based in Amsterdam. He combines a PhD-trained background in molecular biology and tuberculosis host-pathogen research with hands-on software engineering—building cloud platforms, R/Shiny dashboards, PyQT GUIs, and computer vision pipelines for scientific data. At Leiden University Medical Center he drives bioinformatics projects and at eLabNext he helped produce a cloud-based LIMS-style platform, demonstrating fluency in C#, Python, R, TypeScript, and cloud tooling. His work spans end-to-end solutions from experimental design and proteomics/statistical analysis to deployable analytics apps, and he has published software tied to genomic deletion detection from Illumina data. Pragmatic and curious, he often translates lab techniques into reproducible code (e.g., pixel-counting CV tools and CRISPR gRNA GUIs) that colleagues adopt for routine use.
