Summary
Olivia Petrillo is a bioinformatics and data science professional with eight years of experience building and optimizing NGS pipelines for research and clinical trials. She has hands-on expertise with Nextflow automation, RNA-seq, WES, and single-cell analysis, and has operated within GMP-regulated, GAMP5-compliant environments supporting Phase 2/3 clinical programs. At Gritstone she sped up processing turnaround by 50% through pipeline improvements, SOP/eBR streamlining, and thorough documentation and validation practices. Her background blends wet-lab familiarity and software development—she has led co-ops, trained new hires, and delivered full-stack projects in React during an earlier software co-op—making her effective at cross-functional collaboration. Now based in Malden, MA and currently a Decision Analytics Associate Consultant at ZS, she is seeking a full-time role where she can merge scalable bioinformatics engineering with translational science. Notably, she pairs rigorous QA/QC process thinking with practical automation to make complex sequencing workflows auditable and repeatable.
