Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Bendall is a computational biologist and data scientist with 11 years of experience applying bioinformatics and software engineering to genomics problems, currently a Research Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine. His work spans microbiome and pathogen detection, HIV-1 assembly and phylodynamics, and characterization of the human endogenous retrovirus transcriptome, blending NGS-focused research with production-grade bioinformatics tooling. Prior roles at the DOE Joint Genome Institute and GW’s Computational Biology Institute reflect a track record of building scalable analysis pipelines and methods for complex viral and metagenomic data. He holds a Ph.D. in Genomics and Bioinformatics and brings both deep domain expertise and practical software development skills to translational and research projects. An oft-overlooked strength is his combination of rigorous computational methods with hands-on experience in pathogen detection workflows, enabling rapid iteration from algorithm to applied results.
