Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Muchow is a research biologist with a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology and over a decade of cross-sector experience spanning academic, government, biotech, and clinical labs. He blends hands-on bench skills—NGS, PCR, flow cytometry, in vivo models—with command-line bioinformatics and assay/platform development, having run pipelines on HPC clusters and worked with Illumina and Oxford Nanopore data. At organizations from NIST and NIH to AstraZeneca and a state veterinary lab, he has led lab management, LIMS/clinical sample workflows, and regulatory-friendly documentation for GMP environments. Michael also volunteers in computational cancer working groups, building visualization tools and HTS evaluation algorithms to accelerate therapeutic prioritization for rare cancers. Comfortable toggling between technical writing, data visualization, manuscript preparation, and pipeline automation, he brings an unusual combination of operational rigor and translational problem-solving.
