Summary
Navchetan Kaur is an accomplished translational medicine leader with 8 years of experience bridging immunology research, clinical trials, and applied data science. Currently Associate Director at Natera, she has led cross-functional programs from data collection through peer-reviewed publications and oversight of investigator-initiated and company-sponsored studies. Her background blends a PhD in immunology with hands-on computational work from postdoctoral roles at UCSF, where she built ML-driven translational models using EHRs for immunology and transplant research. Earlier work includes creating open-source transplant compatibility tools that automate HLA-to-UNOS conversions and reduce manual entry errors, reflecting a rare mix of wet-lab expertise and production software delivery. Based in San Francisco, she is adept at translating complex biological data into actionable clinical solutions and operationalizing them across product, data, and clinical teams. Colleagues describe her as an innovative problem-solver who pairs rigorous science with practical engineering to improve transplant outcomes.
