Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Ruzanov is a Scientific Associate with 15+ years of experience building and maintaining bioinformatics workflows for large-scale NGS analysis at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. He combines a PhD in Molecular Biology with deep practical expertise in workflow systems (seqware and Cromwell) to design robust pipelines used across cancer genomics projects. Peter has a track record of turning research needs into production tools — from sample‑fingerprinting for mislabel detection to dozens of cancer-focused analysis modules — and he continues to expand the institute’s toolkit. Comfortable bridging wet‑lab questions and computational solutions, he also studies endogenous retroviral and repeat element expression and their roles in immune response and oncogenesis. Based in Toronto, he brings a longtime commitment to reproducible, diagnostics-ready bioinformatics developed in both academic and translational settings.
