Genomics today is the internet of the early 90s or programming of the late 70s. There is going to be an enormous boom in genomics-derived technologies in the coming decade which has been driven by the exponential decay in data generation costs. You're absolutely right that places with a "startup" mentality are where to be right now. On that note :) I'm starting a forward-looking research lab at UofT to advance massive-scale (think petabytes) genetic analyses and am looking to find the right few individuals who have a similar vision. It's difficult to find passionate engineers with a solid CS and HPC background who are willing to meet halfway and work _together_ with biologists in getting the analysis right. Robert does this _very_ well, and that's why we recently co-wrote a landmark Nature paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04332-2 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04332-2.
