Brice works with pharma and biotech companies to solve challenging scientific questions in R&D, particularly those at the intersection of omics, bioinformatics and technology. He leads the global bioinformatics track in ZS’s Medical and Scientific Expertise Center as well as a ZS Discovery expertise group focused on developing scalable, portable and reproducible bioinformatic workflows. Drawing upon his academic insights and professional journey, he is a member of ZS’s advanced degree council, which provides professional guidance for ZSers with doctoral degrees.

Brice has over 15 years of experience leveraging a variety of genetic and omics data from humans and other species to answer scientific questions in academia, biotech and pharma. He has consistently collaborated with cross-functional teams, using his scientific expertise in genomics, population genetics and phylogenetics to provide end-to-end perspectives on designing, implementing and interpreting scientific analyses in the fields of computational biology, bioinformatics and systematics.

Before joining ZS, Brice served as director of computational genomics and integrative bioinformatics at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine (formerly Janssen R&D), where he led a team of Ph.D. scientists utilizing multiomics data and large biobanks to inform discovery programs in research and early development. Previously, he worked as a bioinformatician and computational geneticist in the diagnostic and genetic testing space and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in mouse evolutionary genomics.

Brice holds a Ph.D. in biology (bioinformatics, genomics and phylogenetics) from the University of Idaho and a BA in biology and philosophy from Washington University in St. Louis.
