Austin Crinklaw

Bioinformatics Scientist & Software Developer

I build software solutions for life sciences, bridging the gap between complex biological problems and practical technical solutions. Currently leading development of laboratory information systems for therapeutic research.

About Me

I'm a bioinformatics scientist with a passion for building software that solves real problems in life sciences. My journey started in wet lab research working with E. coli genetics at UCSD, where I discovered my love for the computational side of biology.

Over the past 7 years, I've worked across the biotech spectrum—from academic research in computational immunology to leading technical teams at innovative startups. I particularly enjoy the challenge of translating complex scientific workflows into software solutions.

Currently, I'm leading the development of a comprehensive laboratory information management system for siRNA therapeutic development at Empirico Inc. If you're reading this, send me a new horror movie recommendation!
