Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Spies is a physician-scientist and software-savvy clinical pathologist who leads Applied AI and Clinical Chemistry at ARUP Laboratories, bringing 12 years of experience at the intersection of medicine, genomics, and machine learning. Trained in OBGYN and clinical pathology with an MD from Washington University, he founded an AI consultancy that delivered end-to-end pipelines improving clinical and operational care across reproductive endocrinology, peri-operative services, and labs. His earlier work building bioinformatics pipelines and open-source tools at the McDonnell Genome Institute and contributions to clinical variant interpretation reflect a deep background turning sequencing data into actionable patient insights. Comfortable shipping production-grade analytics and clinical tools, he blends hands-on engineering (Perl/Python/R) with clinical leadership as a former chief resident. He routinely translates complex biology into deployable AI solutions, and now scales that capability within a major clinical reference lab.
