The first time I realized Bioinformatics is something I wanted to incorporate in my everyday job was more than 15 years ago during my PhD studies. At that time, I worked as a Mathematics and Computer Science University professor on academic research topics related mainly to the application of mathematics in life sciences. Once I saw a position open up in the Bioinformatics department at Seven Bridges, I knew that this was a perfect opportunity to work in a field I am so keen on. Working with Seven Bridges as a Bioinformatics Engineer, and later on as a Team Leader, often reminds me of my academic days. My experience as a scientist and a teacher gave me the ability to successfully share knowledge with my peers while continuing to learn in this role...There is an everyday opportunity to learn and to carefully explore a variety of different things, day by day, project by project – this makes my work both interesting and challenging at the same time. What I love most about Seven Bridges is the positive, team-based culture that makes employees feel respected, valued and safe in their working environment. I also love working with all the fun and bright individuals I’ve encountered since working for Seven Bridges. I enjoy contributing to many interesting projects and the fact that my work can impact scientific research and help the acceleration of precision medicine.

At Seven Bridges, it's never the "same old thing". Managing petabytes of data is complex and requires a variety of technologies. Am I ever challenged? Every day. Am I bored? Are you joking? ​ Aside from the fun we have working on challenging projects, there is a great deal of satisfaction knowing our efforts are making a really great impact on human health

The best thing about my job is getting to see our platform continuously evolving and knowing that I contributed to building something that makes me proud - something that can make a real difference to human health.
