Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSegun Jung is a bioinformatics leader with 10+ years driving NGS pipeline development, HPC architecture, and clinical assay deployment in diagnostic labs. As Director of Bioinformatics (Somatic) at Fulgent Genetics after a multi-year leadership track at NeoGenomics, he combines hands-on Python engineering and machine learning with oversight of clinical validation, LDT launches, and cloud/HPC operations. His academic roots include a PhD in Computational Biology from NYU and postdoctoral work applying statistical and ML methods to cancer genomics, giving him deep technical expertise in variant, CNV, MSI and RNA analyses. Currently pursuing an MBA to sharpen his management skills, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams as he is optimizing production-grade pipelines and integrating assays like Illumina TSO500. Outside work he’s a trail runner and coffee enthusiast—traits that mirror his steady endurance for long projects and attention to detail.
