Hi, my name is Kevin McCormick. I recently finished my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware, with a concentration in Bioinformatics. I have significant experience with processing and analyzing sequencing data, for various formats (small RNA, RNA-seq, PacBio) and for various organisms (mostly plants, some bacteria). I am currently applying for industry and other positions in the Philadelphia area. If your group needs a Bioinformatics Programmer or Bioinformatics Scientist, please email me at kevin.patrick.mccormick at gmail dot com.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
