Mitra Ansariola
Principal Scientist, Integrative Computational Approaches For Biological Discovery
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMitra Ansariola is a Principal Scientist in Cancer Immunology and Predictive Sciences based in San Francisco, bringing 11 years of experience applying multi-omics integration and AI-driven models to translational oncology. With a PhD in Computational Biology from Oregon State, she advanced transcription start site prediction and network-motif discovery methods, marrying rigorous algorithm development with biological insight. At Bristol Myers Squibb (and earlier Celgene) she progressed from postdoctoral work to senior and principal roles, translating complex molecular data into predictive biomarkers and decision-ready models. Colleagues know her for bridging deep computational theory—such as cut-norm evaluation and graph randomization—with practical predictive science that accelerates drug discovery. She combines academic rigor with product-focused execution, often surfacing subtle data artifacts that materially improve model interpretability and clinical relevance.
