Senior🎓
Top SchoolPreethi Srinivasan is a Lead Bioinformatics Scientist based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of experience bridging computational biology and translational oncology. She has progressed from early roles in targeted NGS and diagnostics to leading teams at Natera focused on early cancer detection from cell-free DNA, while concurrently pursuing a PhD in Computational Biology. Her background spans academic cancer genomics at MSKCC and Stanford Cancer Institute and industry assay development at Novartis and RainDance, giving her deep expertise in variant calling, copy number and fusion detection workflows. Known for turning complex genomic data into clinically actionable insights, she combines rigorous research training with practical pipeline development and product-focused delivery. An understated strength is her cross-domain fluency—from sleep-modeling software early in her career to large-scale cancer genomics—enabling her to translate diverse computational methods into robust clinical assays.
