Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNetsanet Gebremedhin is a senior data engineering and bioinformatics leader with 11 years of experience building cloud-native pipelines and analytics platforms to accelerate therapeutic discovery and personalized medicine. Currently Sr. Director, Data Engineering & Platform Tech at ProFound Therapeutics, she has led end-to-end bioinformatics efforts—from GPU-accelerated nanopore workflows and Nextflow/AWS Batch orchestration to fusion and frameshift neoepitope discovery for vaccine and cancer programs. Her background spans both hands-on sequencing lab work and production-scale software: she moved from molecular lab roles into creating containerized, high-throughput pipelines that processed hundreds of TCGA samples and supported IND filings. Known for bridging computational rigor with practical deployment, she combines scientific curiosity with platform-minded engineering to shorten time-to-result in translational projects. Based in Cambridge, MA, she holds an M.Sc. in Bioinformatics from Brandeis and brings rare depth across wet-lab assays, cloud infrastructure, and clinical bioinformatics.
