Senior🎓
Top SchoolTushar Dave is a senior bioinformatician with 11 years of experience building scalable genomics pipelines, cloud-based data platforms, and automated submission workflows for large cancer and consortium studies. He combines hands-on software engineering—Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, CI/CD—and cloud cost-optimization with deep domain expertise in WGS/WES/RNA-seq processing and variant annotation across resources like GnomAD, OncoKB, and COSMIC. At Duke he helped design generative models for synthetic mutation data and led efforts to centralize annotation and improve query performance, and he now applies that operational rigor to genomic data management at the University of Chicago. Known for mentoring junior scientists and shipping reproducible tools (ETL pipelines, REST APIs, QC webapps), he brings a practical blend of research-oriented analytics and production engineering. An engineer by training with an MS in Bioinformatics, he also has early-career experience in high-throughput screening and biomedical instrumentation that informs his systems-first approach to biological data.
