Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWei Wang is a Senior Bioinformatics Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience in genomics, NGS analysis, and computational genetics, now leading bioinformatics efforts at The Rockefeller University. He combines deep domain knowledge in genome, transcriptome, exome, cancer, population and single-cell omics with strong software and systems skills—Perl/Python/R/bash, MySQL/Postgres, Linux administration and HPC environments (SLURM, LFS, PBS, SGE). Comfortable bridging wet-lab and compute, he has a track record of productionizing pipelines for large-scale sequencing projects and maintaining the hardware and clusters that power them. Fluent in web basics (HTML/JavaScript) and experienced across North American research institutions, Wei brings both research rigor from his M.Sc. in Biochemistry and practical operational expertise that keeps analyses reproducible and performant. An understated strength is his long-term ownership of end-to-end infrastructure: from low-level system tuning to high-level genomic interpretation.
