Top SchoolSurya Saha, PhD is a computational biologist and technical scientific program manager with 13 years of experience building interoperable, secure cloud platforms for biomedical research and precision medicine. He has led NIH-scale integrations and architecture work—most notably implementing GA4GH DRS-based file interoperability and NIH Research Auth Service (RAS) integrations—to enable controlled access to dbGaP and other sensitive datasets. At Velsera and Seven Bridges he shapes interoperability strategy across distributed engineering, product and infosec teams while representing platform interests in GA4GH, NCPI and FHIR forums. His background in genome assembly, multi-omics pipelines and community databases (i5k, Sol Genomics Network, citrusgreening.org) gives him rare end-to-end fluency from data generation to FAIR cloud delivery. Comfortable securing and managing multi-million-dollar NIH projects and cross-continental teams, he combines deep technical authorship with program leadership. Based in Ithaca, NY, he also serves as an editor for PLOS ONE, reflecting ongoing engagement with the scientific community beyond product development.
