Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShahin Mohammadi is a scientist-turned-founder with 11+ years translating computational modeling and multimodal single-cell biology into actionable tools for precision medicine. He led cross-institutional efforts at MIT CSAIL and industry teams at insitro and GenBio AI to build multimodal virtual cell models and multi-scale foundation models that connect molecular networks to phenotypes. His work contributed to high-profile academic atlases in schizophrenia (Science) and an ongoing bipolar atlas, and he has a track record of making complex multi-omics datasets FAIR and reproducible. As founder of Cytognosis he combines nonprofit mission with for-profit scale to detect disease signatures years before symptoms using AI-native approaches embodied in his Helix Model. His perspective is shaped by lived experience as a patient whose diagnosis was resolved by finding an ultra-rare causal mutation, which informs his focus on causal biology over black-box prediction. Based in Palo Alto with a PhD and postdoctoral training, he uniquely blends deep technical rigor, open-science advocacy, and entrepreneurial drive to democratize early disease detection.
