Summary
Kritika Karri is a Senior Scientist in Spatial Biology with nearly a decade of hands-on experience applying NGS, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and multi-omics analyses to translational problems in immunology and toxicology. She earned a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from Boston University for work that combined single-cell and spatial reconstruction to reveal roles of lncRNAs in xenobiotic metabolism and liver toxicity, and has published in journals including Nature Communications and RNA. Her industry career spans startups and pharma—Celsius Therapeutics, Cellarity, Genentech, Merck and now Sanofi—where she builds reproducible pipelines, performs network analysis, and integrates AI/ML to accelerate target discovery for IBD and Crohn’s disease. Colleagues describe her as a bridge between computational rigor and biological insight, comfortable moving models from research to translational contexts. She has a track record of competitive fellowships and cross-institutional collaborations, reflecting both deep technical skill and a collaborative approach to complex biomedical problems.
