Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Brooks is a bioinformatics researcher and research associate at UPenn’s ITMAT Bioinformatics Lab with 11 years of experience bridging computational methods and translational medicine. He combines a PhD in mathematics with deep expertise in RNA-seq, omics benchmarking, and circadian biology, having authored widely-cited benchmarking guidelines and presented them as a keynote at FDA Omics Days 2024. His work spans large-scale UK Biobank analyses linking wearables and health outcomes, development of RNA-seq simulation software that models library prep nuances, and building web tools (e.g., nitecap.org) to accelerate time-series transcriptomics. Comfortable advising clinicians on experimental design, statistics, and grant writing, he brings rare quantitative rigor from geometry to messy biological data and a track record of collaborative, cross-omics projects in COVID-19 and human diurnal phenotyping.
