Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Steen is a bioinformatician with eight years’ experience applying microarray and next-generation sequencing across clinical, environmental and microbial pathogenesis studies, currently embedded in the Precision Medicine group at Monash University. He combines hands-on expertise in library design, instrument operation (early adopter work with Ion Torrent) and end-to-end NGS data analysis to translate complex samples into actionable biological insight. His career spans managing core genomics facilities and leading sequencing efforts for diverse projects—from metagenomic discovery of novel bacterial lineages to pathogen surveillance and antimicrobial resistance studies. Trained to PhD level in molecular microbiology, Jason is as comfortable troubleshooting wet-lab workflows as he is developing bioinformatics pipelines, a blend that speeds translation between bench and computational teams.
