Daniel Durkin, B.A.
Senior Principal Scientific Software Engineer
Strong interests in automation, testing, and rapid application development and evolution. Dedicated to building systems to meet current and future needs.
A synthetic organic chemist by training, I spent the first few years of my career at the bench. I've been working as a software engineer for more than 15 years, with the last 10 years focused on delivering applications that help enable scientists. Prior to joining JAX, I spent time at the Broad Institute and was exited to be part of a team that worked to deliver the BioAssayResearchDatabase. Since joining the Computational Sciences group here at JAX, I've worked closely with Clinical and was excited to lead the software team that built JAX-Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB) (https://ckb.jax.org/).
