Senior🎓
Top SchoolSen Peng is a Staff Bioinformatics Scientist in San Diego with 10 years of experience translating computational methods into clinically impactful genomic software. At Illumina he leads DRAGEN germline, amplicon, and mitochondrial variant-calling components, driving cross-team collaborations that improved germline calling accuracy by 23.4% and delivered IVD- and RUO-grade pipelines for SNV, CNV, SV and RNA variants. His background spans academic and translational work—PhD-trained in Biomedical Informatics—where he built clinical trial assignment ML systems, automated high-throughput WGS/WES/RNA pipelines, and published methods for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. Comfortable shipping high-performance C++ code and designing graduate courses, he blends hands-on algorithm design with validation for regulatory and clinical use. A not-obvious strength: he has repeatedly bridged tool-building and grant-funded research, securing major NIH/NCI support while operationalizing production genomics.
