Mehrad Mahmoudian is a postdoctoral computational bioinformatician with 11 years of experience building interpretable machine-learning models and stable feature-selection methods for high-dimensional biomedical data. Based at Turku Bioscience Centre, he develops reproducible diagnostics and biomarker discovery pipelines—most notably the Stable Iterative Variable Selection (SIVS) method implemented as an open-source R package—and applies them to complex diseases including cancers and Type 1 Diabetes. He pairs rigorous statistical modeling (RNA-seq, RRBS, ChIP-Seq, proteomics, survival analysis) with close clinician collaboration to translate computational signals into clinically meaningful endpoints. A longtime advocate of open science and FOSS, he contributes localization work to widely used projects such as Flameshot and maintains community-first repositories on Codeberg, reflecting a practical focus on usability and reproducibility.
