Meet Jeremy Leipzig - TileDB Expert at the 10th Berlin Summer School in NGS Data Analysis
Posted on January 29, 2026
We are delighted to announce that Jeremy Leipzig, Senior Product Manager for Genomics at TileDB, will be joining us as an invited speaker at the upcoming 10th Berlin Summer School in NGS Data Analysis (May 15–19, 2026). Jeremy will deliver a short session introducing TileDB-VCF, a scalable and flexible approach to working with genomic variant data.
Jeremy brings extensive experience in bioinformatics and data engineering to the Summer School. He holds a PhD and has worked across academia, industry, and research settings focused on genomic data, reproducibility, workflows, and high-volume variant storage. Before joining TileDB, Jeremy contributed to projects in virology, crop genomics, and pediatric research, often emphasizing the importance of reproducible analysis and metadata management — topics that resonate strongly with modern NGS projects.
At TileDB, he focuses on unlocking scalable and reproducible data solutions in genomics. In particular, TileDB-VCF provides an alternative to traditional VCF file handling by storing and querying variant data in a highly efficient database format. This enables researchers and bioinformaticians to work interactively with large cohorts, perform federated queries, and manage multi-sample variant data without the typical bottlenecks of file-based workflows.
Participants at the Berlin Summer School will have the unique opportunity to gain insight into how TileDB-VCF and related technologies can support real-world genomics projects, especially those involving large cohorts or complex variant datasets. Jeremy's presentation will complement our core curriculum by combining practical NGS workflows with new innovations in data infrastructure.
The 10th Berlin Summer School in NGS Data Analysis is designed to give attendees a comprehensive, hands-on experience in next-generation sequencing workflows, from initial quality control and mapping to advanced topics such as variant calling, single-cell analysis, and reproducible workflow development. The addition of expert contributions like Jeremy’s ensures that the programme remains at the cutting edge of both analysis practice and data management strategy.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming Jeremy to Berlin and to hearing his insights on scalable genomic data approaches.
