Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMontazeri Hesam is an Assistant Professor of Bioinformatics at the University of Tehran with a decade of experience bridging probabilistic graphical models, statistical machine learning, and cancer genomics. His interdisciplinary PhD and MSc training from ETH Zürich underpin a research trajectory that spans phylogenetics, evolutionary models, and practical bioinformatics applications—from modeling HIV drug resistance to discovering cancer dependencies using large-scale RNAi screens. He has held postdoctoral positions at ETH Zürich and the University Hospital of Basel, where he developed network- and tree-based methods for molecular epidemiology and transmission inference. Known for building scalable statistical inference tools (e.g., conjunctive Bayesian networks) and applying them to national and international cohorts, he blends theoretical rigor with translational impact. Based in Iran, he combines deep quantitative skill with hands-on genomics experience and a track record of mentoring graduate students and teaching advanced computational biology courses.
