Top SchoolEhsan Tabari is a multidisciplinary leader blending 11 years of commercial software engineering with 6+ years focused on sequencing-first diagnostics and applied machine learning in health. Currently Associate Director of Machine Learning and Bfx at Natera, he has led cross-functional teams to build ctDNA analysis pipelines, collaborate with pharma partners, and deliver production ML models that bridge research and clinical utility. His background spans hands-on bioinformatics research (operon prediction, asRNA discovery) to enterprise engineering leadership, giving him rare fluency across algorithms, cloud-scale compute, and product delivery. He has repeatedly scaled teams and platforms—from founding a 50-person web dev shop to directing computational biology groups at Freenome and Roche—while keeping a scientist’s curiosity, evident in publications and conference presentations. Based in San Francisco, he is a multilingual developer and “alive scientist” who thrives at the intersection of biology, data, and software.
