Biography
Mohamad Sater is the Director of Computational Biology at Day Zero Diagnostics, a healthcare startup spun out of Harvard University to develop a genomic sequencing-based rapid diagnostic for bacterial infections. Dr. Sater received his PhD in Microbiology from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and Basel University, then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University. His academic research focused on bacterial mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and persistence. He also developed data analysis methods leveraging whole genome sequencing data and clinical metadata to investigate microbial transmission dynamics and reconstruct outbreaks.
