Summary
Jennifer Meneghin is a bioinformatics analyst with eight years of professional experience and a two-decade-long research track record bridging biology and software engineering. Based in Portland, she has built end-to-end bioinformatics pipelines, custom databases, and web tools—authoring dozens of Perl, Python and Java scripts and a public Aquificales Data Warehouse that hosts genomic and sample metadata. Her background spans academic research (PSU, OHSU) and industry (Agendia, Gartner), giving her deep experience in de novo genome assembly, metatranscriptome and 16S workflows, statistical data mining, and production-grade Java/Linux systems. She pairs formal training in biomedical informatics and mathematics with applied computer science and statistics coursework, and has repeatedly translated lab needs into scalable software, from field data entry CGI tools to Java servlet–based analysis portals. A practical tinkerer by nature, she’s as comfortable optimizing sequence analysis algorithms as she is designing databases and web interfaces to make complex data accessible to researchers.
