Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Pyfrom is a molecular geneticist and bioinformatician with 11+ years translating complex genomics questions into reproducible, publication-ready results across academic and clinical research settings. She builds and maintains high-throughput NGS pipelines (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, CUT&RUN, Hi-C), integrates multi-omics datasets, and develops tools for variant and regulatory element function prediction—most notably PLAIDOH for lncRNA functional inference. Comfortable at the bench and in code, she combines experimental design, Python/R/SQL programming, and HPC workflow deployment to take projects from concept to peer-reviewed publication. Her work contributed to journals including Cell Reports, PNAS, and Immunity, and she is focused on applying genomics to precision medicine, diagnostics, and drug discovery in collaborative, mission-driven teams. Currently based in Philadelphia, she seeks remote or hybrid roles where end-to-end project leadership and clinical variant annotation skills accelerate translational impact.
