Summary
Kazutoyo Osoegawa is a research science and technical lead with 11+ years of experience specializing in molecular biology, genomics, molecular genetics and bioinformatics, currently heading technical efforts at Stanford Blood Center. He has a proven track record as co-investigator and lab manager on projects mapping genetic causes of birth defects—especially cleft lip/palate and congenital heart defects—using array-CGH, MLPA, high-throughput sequencing and large-insert BAC/fosmid cloning. Comfortable bridging wet lab and computational worlds, he programs in C/C++, Perl, PHP and Java, develops relational databases, and has built custom bioinformatics tools to support genomic discovery. His contributions include building core genomic resources (a 32,000 BAC collection and earlier libraries used in human, mouse and fly genome projects), reflecting a depth in resource generation that underpins many downstream studies. Based in Walnut Creek, CA, he combines rigorous academic training (PhD and MS from Kyushu University) with cross-disciplinary coursework at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz, giving him a rare blend of hands-on cloning expertise and quantitative bioinformatics.
