Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhillip Richmond is a genomics and bioinformatics leader with a PhD in Bioinformatics from UBC and roughly a decade of experience translating genome-scale research into clinical and diagnostic solutions. As cofounder and Chief Scientific Officer of Alamya Health, he focuses on integrating epigenome, transcriptome, and genome data to enable point-of-care diagnostics, and concurrently provides bioinformatics support to Umoja Biopharma’s gene therapy efforts. He built the Precision Health Initiative at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute, designing researcher-facing cloud and HPC infrastructure, training programs, and pipelines for rare disease diagnosis. His PhD work combined software development, international collaboration, and patient data analysis, culminating in the discovery of a novel short tandem repeat disorder published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Comfortable bridging wet- and dry-lab domains, he has deep experience in sequencing technologies, variant discovery, and genomic education. Based in Denver, he brings a rare blend of academic rigor, startup product focus, and hands-on pipeline engineering to clinical genomics.
