Jeoffrey Schageman is a staff scientist in the RNA Sequencing Applications Team at Life Sciences Solutions, Thermo Fisher Scientific. He specializes in the development and implementation analytical methods for NGS and gene expression analysis. Jeoffrey typically leads the teams responsible for building analytical pipelines. The resulting pipelines provide analytical frameworks to enable other scientists to derive biological insight from seemingly insurmountable volumes of RNA sequence data. Jeoffrey began his career in academia working on the Human Genome Project at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, then changed directions to focus on the bioinformatics of genome wide association studies in large cohorts to catalogue genetic variants related to cardiomyopathies. Mr. Schageman received his training in molecular biology and genetics from the University of North Texas.
