Tariq Daouda is an assistant professor and Head of the Laboratory of AI and Biomedical Informatics at UM6P with 13 years of experience at the intersection of machine learning, bioinformatics, and software engineering. He combines academic rigor—from postdoctoral research at Harvard focused on AI for cancer immunotherapy and single-cell sequencing—with entrepreneurial leadership as co-founder and software architect of Bluwr and CEO/CSO of Piercing Star Technologies. Tariq builds practical, well-engineered tools for scientists and clinicians, publishing open-source software to streamline bioinformatics workflows while also shipping consumer-focused products for readers and writers. His background in time-series learning and unsupervised algorithms (MSc work under Dr. Douglas Eck) informs a research-driven approach to product architecture that favors robust, reproducible systems. Based in Morocco, he blends global research experience with startup execution, often translating complex ML models into usable software for non-expert users. Colleagues describe him succinctly: he cares about “good software,” and he proves it by bridging research innovation with production-quality code.
