Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergey Shmakov is a bioinformatician and research fellow with a decade of experience bridging computational genomics and software engineering, combining nine years at NIH and six years as an SDE at Microsoft. He develops scalable computational methods and large genomic datasets to discover novel genes, leading to the identification of 14 new CRISPR-Cas systems and first-authored papers in Nature, Cell, and Science. His toolkit spans sensitive sequence and structural homology search, gene clustering, phylogenetics, and emerging graph neural network approaches for targeted system discovery. Comfortable in both research and production environments, he has built optimization pipelines and automation for large-scale analyses and previously led development of reporting engines and test automation at Microsoft. Based in Bethesda, he brings a rare mix of rigorous academic pedigree and pragmatic software delivery, with a knack for uncovering unexpected regulatory elements from noncoding RNAs.
