Andrew Severin is the manager of the Genome Informatics Facility. He assumed the position of manager of the new facility on September 1, 2011. He is an interdisciplinary scientist, working at the interface of genetics and bioinformatics. He earned his Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 2009. 

I am a broadly trained biologist with 21 years of experience in molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics in a wide range of species. My research interests include using high-throughput sequencing data from multi-omic experiments to investigate emergent properties in biological systems. In addition, I have managed the Genome Informatics Facility (GIF) since its founding in 2011, which serves as a centralized resource of expertise on the application of sequencing technologies and open source software to biological systems. I developed its mission to integrate bioinformatic expertise into tutorials and workflows that are easy to understand and use by faculty, staff, and students to enable the transformation of ‘big data’ into data that dramatically accelerate our understanding of biology and evolutionary processes.
