Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Bridgett is a Research Fellow in bioinformatics with 13 years’ experience applying next-generation and single-cell RNA sequencing to uncover genetic contributors to chronic and retinal diseases. Combining clinical training (MB BCh) with an MRes in Bioinformatics, he bridges medicine and software, developing pipelines for Illumina and Roche-454 data and building databases for medical research. His recent work focuses on single-cell RNAseq analysis for diabetic retinopathy at Queen’s University Belfast, while earlier roles delivered automated demultiplexing, QC and web-based tools for functional genomics. Comfortable with languages from C++ and Fortran to Java and modern bioinformatics stacks, he brings a hands-on, tool-building mindset to translational genomics. A pragmatic believer in the accelerating clinical impact of sequencing, he uniquely pairs patient-facing medical experience with deep technical expertise in sequencing data analysis.
