Trophic: relating to the position an organism occupies within an ecosystem

Nexus: a connection or link between things

A nod to my background in microbial ecology, the name Trophic Nexus reflects my ability to connect different disciplines and areas of expertise through the lens of bioinformatics. With an array of bioinformatics services, I am confident I can fill the niche your data team needs to thrive.

About


Joshua J. Hamilton

I'm Josh Hamilton, PhD, a bioinformatics consultant with a passion for empowering biotech startups to tackle their most complex data challenges. With a strong foundation in microbial genomics and microbiome research, I bring deep expertise in developing and optimizing bioinformatics pipelines, building scalable infrastructure, and applying advanced computational methods to analyze complex biological datases.

I believe that effective communication and education are just as critical as technical solutions, and I take pride in helping teams of all backgrounds unlock the full potential of their data. I thrive on training and mentoring teams, and building bridges across disciplines. Whether you need infrastructure deployment, algorithm design, or strategic guidance, I'm here to help your team succeed. Let's connect and explore how I can support your goals.
