Senior🎓
Top SchoolShane Sanders is an IT leader and computational scientist with over a decade of experience architecting high-performance computing and research IT environments for biotechnology organizations. Currently Associate Vice President for Research IT & Scientific Computing at Fred Hutch, he built and led cyberinfrastructure and data services teams at The Jackson Laboratory, translating complex scientific needs into scalable HPC, storage, and workflow solutions. His career began in hands-on molecular and computational research—designing genomes, developing bioinformatics pipelines in C/Perl/Bash, and operating mass-spec and sequencing platforms—which gives him rare empathy for researcher workflows and performance tuning. Shane combines technical depth with strategic program management and budgeting, routinely steering procurement, cost/benefit analyses, and adoption of emerging informatics tools. Based in Greater Seattle, he pairs an interdisciplinary academic background (biochemistry, computer science, molecular biology, MBA) with practical, repeatable practices for production-grade scientific computing.
