Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaurence Ettwiller is a computational biology leader with 13 years of experience marrying experimental and informatics approaches to drive enzyme discovery and large-scale sequencing applications. As Head of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at New England Biolabs he leads teams that build pipelines and analyses to translate NGS data into actionable discovery, including work that exposed how DNA damage skews sequencing accuracy. He previously ran an interdisciplinary academic group at the University of Heidelberg and established in vivo enhancer assays and genome alignment pipelines in collaboration with EBI/Ensembl. Laurence combines deep academic training (PhD-level work at EMBL/Cambridge) with industry product-focus, repeatedly creating novel methods such as Cappable-seq and SMRT-Cappable-seq to open new research and market opportunities. Based in Ipswich, MA, he is equally comfortable developing experimental protocols and the computational tools that extract biological insight from them, a practical skillset that accelerates translational research.
