Senior🎓
Top SchoolStella Hartono is a bioinformatics scientist with 14 years of experience building novel algorithms and end-to-end pipelines to analyze large-scale sequencing data across cancer biology, epigenetics, and transcriptomics. As Assistant Project Scientist at UC Davis she leads mapping and analysis workflows (AWS, HPC, Bowtie2/STAR/Bismark, Samtools, DESeq2) and develops bespoke tools like Gargamel and rlooper_sim to extract single-molecule insights from PacBio bisulfite and R-loop data. Her work bridges computational method development and biological discovery, with 24 publications in top journals and mechanistic contributions that have reshaped understanding of R-loops and SF3B1/CARM1-related genome instability. She is building transformer-based NGS models (PyTorch, DNABERT/enformer) to bring AI into genomics interpretation and multi-omics integration. Comfortable working independently or across interdisciplinary teams, she combines deep coding skills (Perl, Python, R, C++, bash, GitHub) with rigorous experimental context to translate complex datasets into therapeutic hypotheses. Based in Davis, CA, she quietly blends mathematical modeling, tool-building, and reproducible pipelines to make single-molecule and genome-wide discoveries accessible to collaborators.
