Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Durham is a Principal Scientist in Bioinformatics with 11 years of experience applying advanced genomics and single-cell methods to real-world biological questions. He combines expert Python-based pipeline engineering with deep domain expertise in RNA-seq, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, ATAC/ChIP-seq, methylation, and variant calling across short- and long-read platforms. At HHMI he co-developed a targeted single-cell assay (SCI-LITE) for measuring mtDNA heteroplasmy and led the analysis that fed into Nature publications, translating novel assays into reproducible pipelines and models of mitochondrial mutational dynamics. Comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP, AWS, Azure, Terra) and with hiring and mentorship responsibilities, he balances hands-on coding, data analysis, and team development. Based in Cambridge, MA, he brings a rare combination of method development, population-scale analysis, and practical tool production that bridges wet-lab assays and scalable computational workflows.
