Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Bertin is a computational biology group leader based in Singapore with 13+ years applying advanced bioinformatics and functional genomics to cancer and precision medicine. He combines a PhD from Harvard/University of Montpellier with hands-on experience building large-scale NGS data platforms—ranging from real-time genome browsers to cloud-native GWAS and cohort analytics that cut multi-day jobs to hours. He has led multi-institution programmes (c-BIG) coordinating data acquisition, storage and analytics across partners and industry, and prior roles include architecting the HLI knowledgebase and the RIKEN ZENBU visualisation environment. Comfortable at the interface of wet lab assays and scalable computation, he repeatedly translates complex omics into actionable biological insights across genomics, epigenomics and proteomics. One less obvious strength is his track record of delivering both foundational tools (genome browsers, ETLs, pipelines) and operational programme leadership in multicultural, cross-continental teams.
