Description

SUBFUNCTION DEFINITION: Bioinformatics applies biology, computer science, data science, and statistics to analyze and interpret biological and clinical data.

REPRESENTATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES

???Informatics
Curates, annotates and organizes various types of biomedical data (e.g., genomic, clinical, imaging, sequencing) in various formats (e.g., flat files, relational and non-relational databases). Collects and records appropriate metadata. Ensures data are securely stored yet highly accessible to authorized users.

???Data Analysis
Executes pipelines for curating, processing and analyzing biomedical data of various types (e.g., genomic, clinical, imaging, sequencing). Utilizes existing software to support complex data management tasks (e.g., sequence alignment, variant calling, inter-sample comparison, patient matching/linkage). Utilizes web-based bioinformatics tools and public/proprietary relational databases. Follows standard operating procedures. Works in collaboration with both technology and scientific teams.

???Requirements Gathering
Interfaces with clinicians/researchers to collect requirements of basic to moderate complexity including user workflows. Contributes to problem-solving and solution evaluation.

???Software Evaluation & Development
Contributes to the evaluation and development of software solutions to support basic to moderately complex data workflows. Under general supervision, assists with implementation and testing efforts. Effectively communicates the status of all efforts to necessary parties. Utilizes project and time management skills to complete projects within specific timeframes.

???Publication
Contributes to analyses and publications. Generates reports and figures for publications. Assists with materials for publications and scientific meetings. Works closely with biostaticians on the production of publication and presentation materials.
