Andrew Carroll

The Genomics team in Google AI develops methods to help understand genomic data and combine it with non-genomic biomedical data. Our team builds DeepVariant, a highly accurate deep learning variant caller. The real world applications are in improving clinical genomics, drug discovery, and in non-human biotechnology. Andrew shapes product strategy to drive adoption of the technology and ensure its connection to high-value application. His role has a strong focus on genomics community engagement, collaboration, and partnership. Prior to Google, Andrew was Chief Scientific Officer at DNAnexus, where he grew and led a team of bioinformaticians who supported many of the first large-scale genomics projects, such as the CHARGE Consortium, Regeneron-Gesinger and Regeneron-UKBiobank cohorts, the 3000 Rice Genomes Project, PrecisionFDA, and the St. Jude Pediatric Cancer Cloud. Andrew holds a PhD in Molecular Biology from Stanford University and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Virginia.

A/Prof Cheong Xin Chan (CX)
Associate Professor Cheong Xin Chan is a computational biologist and genomicist at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, The University of Queensland. He completed his PhD in Genomics and Computational Biology at UQ and postdoctoral training at Rutgers University in algal genomics, before returning to UQ in 2011 as one of the inaugural Great Barrier Reef Foundation Bioinformatics Fellows. He now leads a research group at the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics (ACE) and is an affiliate of UQ's Centre for Marine Science. His research focuses on genome evolution and innovation, the hologenomics of coral-algae symbiosis, and scalable phylogenomics using alignment-free methods. With over 100 published works, his contributions include demonstrating a single origin of Archaeplastida, uncovering molecular mechanisms of coral bleaching, and developing large-scale genomic inference tools.
Prof Phil Hugenholtz
Microbiologist and Lead
Professor Phil Hugenholtz is a microbiologist who heads the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics. He has made significant contributions in the field of culture-independent analysis of microorganisms. He discovered and characterised numerous previously unrecognised major bacterial and archaea lineages and has developed a systematic genome-based classification for prokaryotes.
Gourab Chowdhury
PhD Candidate
Gourab Chowdhury, an international student from Bangladesh, is pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of the Sunshine Coast. He completed a B.Sc. in Fisheries from Sylhet Agricultural University and an M.Sc. in Marine Environment and Resources from the University of the Basque Country (Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree). He is currently investigating molecular and endocrine regulation of ovarian maturation in the black tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon.
