Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJanice Patterson is a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with over a decade of experience translating high-throughput genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data into clinically actionable insights, currently advancing epigenetic cfNA NGS analysis at Guardant Health. With an M.Sc. in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, she blends strong statistical modeling and pipeline engineering skills in Python and R to validate drug-response models and support CLIA/CAP-regulated operations. Her background spans academic and clinical research—ranging from tumor evolution studies and drug screening at the Portland VA to computational biology roles at OHSU—giving her a rare mix of wet-lab context and production bioinformatics. She routinely mentors peers, authors scientific reports, and integrates external innovations to close technology gaps. Notably, she focuses on end-to-end analysis of complex epigenetic signals for patient samples, combining deep domain knowledge with scalable software development.
