Nima Mousavi
Summary
👤
SeniorNima Mousavi is a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with a decade of experience at the intersection of electrical engineering and computational biology, currently based in Oakland and working on precision genomics at BillionToOne. He earned advanced degrees from UC San Diego and built influential tools for genotyping short tandem repeats (GangSTR and TRTools) that enable analysis of STR expansions from short-read data. His background spans industry and academia—roles at 10x Genomics, Illumina, and Dyno Therapeutics—where he contributed to single-cell immune profiling, somatic variant calling, and scalable bioinformatics pipelines. Comfortable in languages and frameworks from Rust to statistical genomics, he combines algorithmic rigor with production-oriented engineering to move methods from prototype to deployed software. Unusually for a bioinformatician, he also cultivates a creative side in photography, reflecting a practiced attention to detail and composition.
