Ryan Golhar is a Scientific Director and bioinformatics software leader with 13 years of experience building production NGS pipelines, cloud-enabled data frameworks, and HPC platforms for translational research. At Bristol Myers Squibb he led development and global integration of the NGS360 framework, driving scalable AWS-based workflows and single-cell RNA-Seq analysis for clinical and research programs. His background blends deep software engineering (C++, Java, Perl, LAMP stacks) with hands-on genomics, from variant discovery tools to QC and expression analysis, informed by a PhD in Biomedical Informatics. Earlier roles at CHOP and CINJ produced published genomics methods and clinical informatics applications, and he has a track record of teaching and operationalizing compute infrastructure. Known for turning complex bioinformatics requirements into reliable, auditable pipelines, he often bridges the gap between research scientists and production engineering teams. Based in New Jersey, he pairs academic rigor with enterprise delivery, and has repeatedly scaled tools that enable cross-site, global data integration.
