Meet the Team

We are a highly collaborative team of computer scientists, bioinformaticians, bench-trained immunologist and clinicians. We strive to create an environment where people with different areas of expertise work closely together to better understand human immune system to improve clinical care.

Purvesh Khatri

Principal Investigator

Dr. Khatri is an electronics and communications engineer turned software engineer turned computational systems immunologist. He is an associate professor in Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection and Division of Biomedical Informatics Research in Department of Medicine at Stanford University. His research focuses on developing novel methods for leveraging heterogeneity present across independent cohorts to better understand human immune system for developing novel diagnostics and therapies for inflammatory diseases including autoimmune and infectious diseases, organ transplant and cancer.
