Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Shelton is a Bioinformatics Programmer with 12 years of experience applying computational methods to genomics and plant/animal biology research from academic labs to a major genomics center in New York. At the New York Genome Center since 2015 she has progressed from analyst to programmer, developing workflows and tools that support large-scale sequencing projects and collaborative open-science efforts. Her background blends hands-on wet-lab genetics (natural history and plant development research) with software-focused roles creating reproducible pipelines and teaching scientific coding. Previously she coordinated outreach and training for a university bioinformatics core, giving her a practical knack for translating complex analyses into usable resources for researchers. Based in New York, she pairs a Master’s in Biology with a creative undergraduate arts foundation, an uncommon combination that helps her communicate technical results clearly and design intuitive tools. Colleagues would describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver who champions reproducibility and accessible computational biology.
