Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathon Keeney is an assistant professor and research-track leader specializing in bioinformatics infrastructure, functional genomics, and metagenomics with 11 years of experience building secure, regulatory-grade platforms for sensitive sequencing data. He leads the HIVE bioinformatics platform at GWU, partners with FDA and multiple academic and industry stakeholders, and helped deploy environments behind FDA firewalls while contributing to IEEE standards and a reference genome knowledgebase. His work spans hands-on pipeline development, EHR biomarker mining, and machine learning approaches for drug-resistance detection, alongside grant writing, team building, and interdisciplinary mentorship. He has a PhD in Neuroscience and a background that bridges wet-lab functional genomics (including developmental neuro-genomics) and production bioinformatics, an uncommon blend that informs both research and clinical informatics. Keeney also brings commercial and visualization experience from founding roles that translate complex science into accessible products and training simulations.
