Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Gilbert is an Associate Director and computational systems biologist with nine years of experience applying machine learning, complex networks, and high-performance computing to real-world biomedical problems. He has led epidemiology analytics and software teams at Johnson & Johnson, building OMOP/CDM-based tooling in Java, SQL and R for drug repurposing and contributing to the OHDSI community. His research background (PhD) centers on generative models for complex biological networks and scalable clustering methods, and he has developed Python/C++ tools for metabolic pathway design and flux-balance analysis in synthetic biology. James pairs academic rigor with commercial software experience across web stacks (Python, Flask, PHP, JavaScript) and systems work on Linux, delivering reproducible, auditable analytics for regulated environments. He is a committed open-source practitioner who blends data-driven hypothesis generation with pragmatic engineering to move ideas into production. Based in Whistler, BC, he brings a rare mix of theoretical network modeling and hands-on epidemiology analytics at enterprise scale.
