Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Bolaris is a Bioinformatics Scientist III with eight years of experience building end-to-end genomics and bioinformatics solutions that bridge wet lab needs and cloud-native software. Based in Livermore, CA, he leads teams at Bio-Rad to deliver Nextflow-based RNAseq pipelines, AWS-deployed toolkits, and data-lake backends while mentoring junior scientists and running CI-driven automation. His background spans PhD-level bioinformatics, hands-on molecular and QC work under GMP, and product-focused assay development—he designs primers/probes and translates sequencing and microbiome data into deployable analysis for R&D and regulatory use. Comfortable with both R/Shiny interactive apps and infrastructure-as-code, he is skilled at turning complex multi-omics problems into user-friendly, cost-efficient workflows. An unusual strength is his combined experience in GMP sample management and cloud democratization of HPC, enabling reproducible, production-ready genomic analytics.
