Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Griffin is a Bioinformatics Scientist with 10 years of experience applying computational biology to microbial genomics, ecology, and gene therapy discovery. Based in San Francisco, he has built and productionized NGS pipelines and Dockerized AWS workflows to scale long-read and short-read sequencing services, improving throughput and enabling routine assembly and validation of microbial genomes. His work spans genome assembly, variant calling, structural variant detection, and strain verification for challenging hosts, informed by a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern and a BS from MIT. At Ginkgo he led a team that quintupled long-read sequencing throughput and at Encoded supported pre-clinical gene therapy programs, demonstrating an ability to translate wet-lab process changes into robust bioinformatics services. Comfortable in Python, R, and bash, he brings both academic depth in microbial community assembly and pragmatic engineering skills to bridge research and production.
