Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohannes Reiter is a computational biologist and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling bioinformatics teams to detect cancer from circulating tumor DNA. As Director of Bioinformatics at Natera and formerly a tenure-track assistant professor at Stanford, he combines rigorous mathematical modeling with production-grade computational pipelines for tissue-free MRD and early cancer detection. He has co-authored over 25 papers—including high-impact work in Science, Nature and Cell—and designed the first mathematical model of ctDNA shedding, translating theory into clinical assays. Comfortable spanning research and product delivery, he led a translational lab funded by NCI and ACED and moved methods from low-purity tumor sequencing to real-world detection programs. An early software engineer with internships at Google and Microsoft Research, he brings uncommon fluency in both large-scale engineering and cancer evolution theory.
