Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Wenric is a Lead Bioinformatics Scientist with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, algorithm design, and software engineering to genomics and transcriptomics in clinical and commercial settings. He has driven production-grade genomics pipelines and novel algorithms—from germline CNV callers and RNA fusion detection to platform-scale subtyping—leveraging WDL/Nextflow, Docker/Kubernetes, and AWS. At Tempus he led cross-industry collaborations and managed teams validating clinically licensed algorithms, and now at Natera he’s extended that product focus to carrier screening. His background blends deep academic work (PhD on omics in cancer, CNV and non-invasive diagnostics) with hands-on systems integration dating back to NGS toolchains and LIMS automation. Notably, he has a track record of translating research methods into robust, cloud-native pipelines that power regulated clinical assays.
