Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFerdous Nasri is a bioinformatician and computer scientist with 11 years of experience at the intersection of AI and global health, currently a Visiting Scientist at the Broad Institute and a PhD researcher at the Hasso Plattner Institute. She designs algorithmic tools—using GNNs, RC-CNNs and optimization—to translate genomic data into actionable outbreak-tracking platforms such as a SARS-CoV-2 mutation model and the MpoxRadar dashboard. A seasoned technical leader, she has led multi-disciplinary teams of students and research fellows to deliver production-facing surveillance tools. She founded Code Curious (formerly Rails Girls Berlin), which has introduced coding to over 1,600 underrepresented learners and placed more than half into tech careers. Her background spans RNA biology tool development at the Max Planck Institute to international research residencies, reflecting a rare blend of wet-lab-aware computation and product-minded delivery. Based in Berlin, she focuses on building cross-cultural teams and reproducible software that directly informs public health decision-making.
