Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Fletcher is a Scientific Advisor at the Broad Institute with 11 years of experience at the intersection of cancer biology, genomics and bioinformatics, bridging bench science and editorial leadership. He trained as a PhD scientist at Cambridge and built computational expertise during postdoctoral work on multi-omic analyses of glioblastoma at DKFZ, moving from wet-lab experiments into integrative sequencing analysis (ssRNA-seq, WGBS, ChIP-seq, WES). After five years as an editor at Nature Genetics, he brings rare insight into how research is evaluated and communicated, accelerating translational impact for complex genomics projects. Based in Cambridge, MA, he combines rigorous academic pedigree with practical experience running high-throughput analyses and advising strategy at scale. Off-duty he plays touch rugby and ultimate frisbee and retains a self-aware habit of writing third-person profiles, a small reminder that scientists can be both precise and playful.
