Andrew J. Barry received the B.S. degree in biology from Stonehill College, Easton, MA. He has concurrently pursued graduate studies in biomedical engineering at Tufts University, Medford, MA. In 2002, he began working at the Whitehead Institute's Center for Genome Research, Cambridge, MA, where he worked on the production floor at the genome center for a year before transitioning to the Technology Development group, which at the time, was called The Broad Institute, founded in 2003. His group worked on the development of the medical-directed sequencing process from transition to production. In 2005, he began working with next-generation sequencing technologies, where he has been working on the scaling-up of the Illumina GA platform and the development of automated platforms for next-generation sample preparation.
