Steve Frenk is an engineering manager based in London with a decade of experience bridging computational genomics and software engineering. He progressed from hands-on postdoctoral research—where he introduced bioinformatics into wet labs and scaled pipelines for thousands of samples—to leading and growing bioinformatics software teams building clinical genomics pipelines like PELEUS. Comfortable in Python, R and Nextflow, he combines deep domain knowledge in genetics and molecular biology with pragmatic engineering practices, QA oversight and Agile delivery. Known for translating complex experimental workflows into production-grade analysis and web tools, he has co-authored multiple manuscripts and mentored cross-disciplinary teams. At LabGenius and Achilles Therapeutics he has driven reproducible, scalable genomics software while keeping close to biological questions.
