Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJody Phelan is a senior consultant and computational geneticist with 11 years’ experience designing and implementing large-scale data analysis pipelines for infectious disease genomics. Formerly an Assistant Professor and Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Jody specializes in processing terabytes of raw sequencing data through to phylogenetics, transmission inference and genome-wide association studies, with a long-standing focus on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Comfortable across cloud and high-performance environments, they have built end-to-end workflows that integrate structured and unstructured sources to reveal population structure, transmission dynamics and drug resistance. Jody combines academic rigor from a PhD in Biological Sciences with hands-on industry experience including bioinformatics leadership and production data science using Spark and Hadoop. Based in Copenhagen, they bring a pragmatic blend of research depth and production engineering that turns complex genomic data into actionable public health insight. An under-the-hood strength is their ability to translate phylogenetic outputs into operational surveillance tools used by public health teams.
