Biography
Dr. Nagarajan has been a pioneer in genomics and informatics for 20+ years. He started at Washington University, the first CAP/CLIA laboratory for clinical NGS, and where he facilitated clinical and translational research by integrating EHR, clinical trials, patient registry, biospecimen, and genomics data and by supporting complex multimodal analyses across these data types. As the Founder and President of Pierian, he built the Clinical Genomics Workspace (CGW), an end-to-end disease, assay and instrument agnostic informatics solution used to process clinical NGS cases. At Velsera, Dr. Nagarajan leads the Knowledgebase team, which is responsible for curated clinical content that supports tertiary analysis in the CGW, and is responsible for regulatory submissions and for incubating and developing technology solutions to extend Velsera’s reach.
