Andrew Severin
Bioinformatics Manager · Iowa State University
Ames, IA
Andrew Severin directs the Genome Informatics Facility at Iowa State University, where he develops documentation-centered computational workflows that help researchers navigate complex data and analyses.
With more than 20 years of experience in genomics and bioinformatics, his recent work focuses on how AI is reshaping the way we learn from and interact with data. In this emerging environment, information systems are no longer passive references—they are becoming active collaborators in research.
He is currently developing 100 Days of Bioinformatics, a teaching resource built using AI-assisted development practices to accelerate navigation, restructuring, and content creation. He has also created lightweight tools, including a custom kanban board utility, to support everyday workflow management using AI as a paired programmer.
