Summary
Roozbeh Dehghannasiri is an instructor and computational biologist with 8 years of experience developing statistical and machine learning methods for scRNA-seq, cancer genomics, and large-scale NGS datasets. Based at Stanford Medicine, he builds scalable pipelines (R, Python, Bash, Nextflow) and has created a reference-free statistical framework that unifies detection of genetic and transcriptomic variation from raw reads. He has deep experience with bulk, single-cell, long-read and spatial RNA-seq and a strong track record using and contributing resources built from large public cohorts like TCGA, CCLE and the Human Cell Atlas. Trained as an electrical engineer (PhD), he blends signal-processing rigor with biological insight to design robust experimental and analytical approaches for small-sample and high-dimensional problems. Colleagues rely on him for clear scientific communication, reproducible tools, and translationally minded method development.
