Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean Elbers is a bioinformatician with 11 years of experience specializing in next-generation sequencing across Illumina, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore platforms, and a PhD in Animal Genetics. He blends wet-lab experience with computational expertise—running de novo and reference-guided genome assemblies, genome annotation, population genetics, RNA/DNA variant and expression analyses, and scalable Snakemake HPC workflows. Comfortable with many scripting languages and pragmatic tooling (Rust, Python, R, Bash, Perl, Awk, Zig, GNU coreutils), he focuses on getting reproducible results rather than mastering a single language. He has held bioinformatics roles at leading Austrian research institutes including the Medical University of Vienna, IST Austria, and IMP, and has led a nanopore sequencing lab. Known for clear communication between lab and computation teams, he brings both experimental insight and pipeline engineering to complex sequencing projects.
