Michael Dinsmore

Biotech Platform Technology Leader | Computational Biology & Informatics Consultant

I help emerging and established biotech companies build scalable, research and regulatory-compliant computational biology and data platforms that accelerate drug discovery and development.

What I Do
With over 20 years leading platform technology teams in biotech and pharma, I specialize in:
• Computational Biology & Multi-Omics Platforms - Design and implementation of genomics, transcriptomics, and integrated data analysis pipelines for R&D
• Cloud Infrastructure & Data Architecture - AWS-based platforms optimized for research and regulated environments (21 CFR Part 11, GxP, GMP compliance)
• Enterprise Informatics Strategy - Data governance, LIMS integration, and scalable infrastructure for clinical and research operations
• Team & Cross-Functional Leadership - Building and leading technical teams across Computational Biology, Informatics, Sequencing, Screening, and Delivery

Current Work
I’m currently providing informatics, infrastructure, and computational biology consulting and exploring senior platform leadership opportunities with leading pharmaceutical companies.

Background
Most recently, I served as VP of Platform Technology at Editas Medicine, where I led cross-functional teams of 25+ across computational biology, informatics, sequencing, screening, and delivery technologies.

Before Editas, I built CLIA-certified clinical sequencing platforms and research LIMS at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, establishing regulatory-compliant workflows and data systems that processed thousands of clinical samples. I worked in the Sequencing Platform, Genetic Analysis Platform and Medical and Population Genetics groups during my tenure there.

I have deep technical expertise spanning Java, Python, AWS infrastructure, genomics pipelines, software engineering, data science, devops and enterprise data systems in research and regulated environments.

Let’s Connect
If you’re building or scaling computational biology capabilities and need strategic guidance or hands-on leadership, I’d welcome a conversation.
