About Me
Hi! I'm Mark Apinis, and welcome!
I am passionate about everything involving software, data, programming, genetics, and fighting disease, and especially the intersection of it all with computational science and bioinformatics. I hold two degrees from Northeastern University: B.S. in computer science and biology (2023) and M.S. in bioinformatics (2024).
Today, I'm a Bioinformatics Engineer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, working to conquer cancer with the incredible scientists and engineers of the Division of Population Sciences. Previously, I've worked at Intuit, Novartis, Moderna, and as a computer science TA.
In my spare time, I like to lift, swim, do anything outside (especially hiking and camping), play tennis, take photos, scuba dive, and explore. I'm a huge advocate for walkable and transit-oriented development, and I love to bike or take the train to do everything from traveling to running errands.
