Roger Pettett

VP, Informatics at Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Roger is responsible for all Informatics and IT provision at Oxford Nanopore. He started at Oxford Nanopore in the mists of time with a background in scalable web systems and NGS data management from 10 years spent at the Hinxton Genome Campus. Roger has at least one line of code in nearly every piece of software ever produced at Nanopore. Roger literally and figuratively wears hats of many different colours but routinely spends most of his waking hours converting coffee into code. Likes good software engineering practices, reading and walks in the park. Roger is easily distracted by shiny things and would rather be making stuff with buzzword compliant technology (and lasers).
