Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Perry is a Senior Bioinformatician with 11 years of professional experience building robust computational systems for large-scale genomics projects, currently architecting California’s SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking at UC Santa Cruz. His background spans academia and major research consortia—designing SOPs and ingestion pipelines for PCAWG, managing thousands of WGS datasets at OICR, and enabling a Cell publication through detailed variant cataloguing. Comfortable from database schemas to pipeline scripting, he has implemented practical data-management solutions (REDCap migrations, GNOS uploads, JIRA service desk) that turned fragmented clinical and sequencing data into accessible, validated resources. Based in Old Toronto but operating across North America, he combines a PhD in Biochemistry with a pragmatic talent for harmonizing clinical metadata and genomic analyses to make high-throughput data truly usable.
