Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAli Pirani is a Data Scientist with 11 years of experience applying bioinformatics and computational biology to clinical and public-health genomics. Currently at MD Anderson Cancer Center's Brain Tumor Center, he builds scalable analysis pipelines and computational infrastructure to turn multi-omics and sequencing data into actionable insights for clinicians and translational research. His background spanning software engineering and academic research—MS in Bioinformatics from Georgia Tech and prior roles at University of Michigan—means he blends production-grade tooling (R, Python, pipeline engineering) with rigorous hypothesis-driven studies. He has a track record of mentoring trainees, supporting large collaborative projects, and developing data systems from the ground up, including wgMLST scheme work and outbreak genomics. Notably, he moves seamlessly between hands-on variant interpretation and architecting reproducible workflows that accelerate grant-driven pilot studies.
