Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThibério Rangel is a Principal Scientist and computational biologist with a decade of experience applying evolutionary genomics and microbial data science to cancer immunology and microbiome therapeutics. He has driven discovery of cryptic neoantigens and cancer resistance mechanisms at Gritstone and now leads oncology bioinformatics at Moderna, bridging deep research with translational impact. His PhD and postdoctoral work produced novel methods for linking gene gain/loss and horizontal transfers to niche colonization and for extending molecular clocks using relative constraints. Skilled in automated gene annotation, in-silico protein characterization, network analysis, and statistical clustering, he routinely builds experiment-specific QC and large-scale public-data ingestion pipelines. A collaborative communicator and manager, he translates complex computational results for clinicians and executives while mentoring junior scientists. Notably, he combines evolutionary thinking with practical bioinformatics engineering to reveal hidden functional variation that drives host and tumor interactions.
