Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Goodman is a computer scientist turned bioinformatician with five decades of technical depth and over twenty years focused on life sciences, currently serving as Founder and Vice President of the patient-led Huntington’s Disease Drug Works and an independent bioinformatics consultant. He has led translational research at the Institute for Systems Biology—producing dense time-series molecular datasets in Huntington’s disease—and built disease-centric public omics resources that make complex data accessible to non-expert scientists.

He designs data infrastructure and provenance-aware storage for large-scale biology, and his work spans wet-lab collaboration, software pipelines, and public-facing knowledgebases. Based in Seattle, he remains an active problem-solver who blends retired computer scientist pragmatism with ongoing passion for programming and patient-centered research.
