Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatricia Sullivan is a bioinformatics scientist with eight years' experience specializing in splicing variant detection and tool development, currently based at Children’s National Hospital. She holds a PhD in Bioinformatics from UNSW and transitioned from doctoral research and a Fulbright placement at the Broad Institute into applied clinical genomics roles across pediatric cancer research. Her work blends computational method development with translational impact—prioritizing variants that alter RNA splicing and influence diagnosis or therapy decisions. Beyond research, she has led and mentored in scientific communities (serving as president of COMBINE Australia) and has a track record of teaching and outreach that bridges academia and clinical labs. Colleagues know her for turning complex transcriptomic signals into practical pipelines that accelerate variant interpretation.
