Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulio Caballero is a Lead Bioinformatician with a decade of experience applying computational genomics to healthcare-relevant bacterial pathogens, blending hands-on sequencing, assembly, and pangenome analysis with production-grade bioinformatics pipelines. Trained at the Broad Institute and holding a PhD from the University of Toronto, he has led large-scale projects that identified recombination-driven spread of antibiotic resistance and characterized hundreds of hospital-derived Pseudomonas aeruginosa genomes using both short- and long-read data. Comfortable in HPC and cloud environments, he codes in Python, R and Java, deploys containerized workflows, and bridges wet-lab and computational teams to deliver reproducible analyses. Now based in Oxford, he directs pathogen data delivery and team-led projects, emphasizing collaborative leadership, creativity, and kindness. An avid microbial evolution fan, he pairs rigorous statistical genomics with practical tooling—having built LIMS and visualization pipelines—to turn complex NGS datasets into actionable insights for clinical and research settings.
