Research Scientist at Roche
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMorteza Saber is a research scientist and principal bioinformatics specialist in Montreal with nine years of hands-on experience applying machine learning, population genomics, and big-data analytics to decipher genomic determinants of bacterial traits, particularly antibiotic resistance. Trained across institutions in Iran, Japan and Canada, including a PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from The University of Tokyo, he blends computational rigor with experimental insight. His work focuses on predictive models for resistance in pathogens and evolutionary-genomics approaches that scale to large microbial datasets. Beyond typical bioinformatics workflows, he leverages population-genomic frameworks to reveal subtle, non-obvious allele patterns that drive phenotypic variation. Colleagues know him for turning complex genomic signals into actionable predictions that inform surveillance and therapeutic strategies.
