About Wei-An Chen
Computational genomics researcher building toward senior scientist roles in variant analysis, GWAS, and pharmacogenomics with a track record across academic, biotech, and production bioinformatics settings. At the Broad Institute, I develop and run eQTL–GWAS colocalization analyses for metabolic disease traits in Josep Mercader\'s lab. At Vedanta Biosciences, I owned multi-omics bioinformatics infrastructure end-to-end, designing Nextflow pipelines on AWS, and delivering analyses for FDA regulatory submissions. My published work includes population-scale pharmacogenomic characterization in underrepresented cohorts (Nature Communications Biology) and award-winning computational approaches to disease prognosis BHI)
