My name is Giovanni M. Dall’Olio. I provide consulting in Consulting on Genomics, Machine Learning, and Data for Bioinformatics.

About me: I am a Bioinformatician with more than 10 years of experience in the Pharma and Biotech sector. PhD in Human Genetics. Data Science leader, and start-up cofounder. Former moderator of Biostars, a popular Questions/Answers site for Bioinformatics.

My areas of expertise:

  • ML applied to Pre-clinical Drug Discovery
  • Data Engineering for Bioinformatics
  • Analysis of Omics data, from RNA Seq to single cell, and methylomics

Data Engineering for Omics data

Data Engineering is so important, and a good Data Team can make the difference for a biotech company. However, it is also very complex, especially in the Sequencing and Omics space. It involves multiple facets, from developing Nextflow pipelines for data processing to assessing data quality and harmonizing metadata. Additionally, data must be accessible to end users with proper data lineage tracking and readiness for machine learning model training.

I have been working with Omics Data Teams for many years – participating in a major data standardization initiative at a multinational pharmaceutical company, and leading a migration to Databricks at a small biotech firm. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the challenges and solutions required to establish a robust data infrastructure for sequencing data. I can offer my expertise, provide constructive feedback on your current solutions, and help identify opportunities for improvement.

Applications of ML to Bioinformatics

The field of bioinformatics is evolving rapidly. Today, LLM agents can automate various data processing tasks, efficiently clean up large-scale data, and assist scientists in exploring hypotheses. Meanwhile, new foundation models – trained on vast omics datasets and built on transformer architectures or similar frameworks- are emerging at a remarkable pace. Keeping up with these advancements can be challenging; yet, leveraging them is essential for staying competitive in the near future.

I can help you harness these innovations. I collaborate with several start-ups that specialize in LLM agents, and I can guide you on their pros and cons, and on the challenges in adopting these solutions. I also follow very closely the latest ML research, collaborating with the Kiin AI newsletter to review the new publications, and participating to discussions about how the bioinformatics of the future is going to look like. Together, we can explore how to best apply these technologies to your data, and integrate them with your products.
