Ariane Mora
Principal investigator at AITHYRA, ex Caltech
Dr. Ariane Mora is a computational biologist and machine learning researcher specializing in the development of AI-driven methods for enzyme engineering. Her interdisciplinary career integrates synthetic biology, open-source software development, and high-throughput experimentation to uncover and reprogram biological function across diverse systems. As a Schmidt Science Fellow at the California Institute of Technology, her research focused on harnessing machine learning to accelerate enzyme discovery and design for bioremediation. As a PI at AITHYRA, she combines her PhD work using unsupervised models to understand development and disease with her postdoctoral work in enzyme engineering and is building an interdisciplinary research group at the interface of ML and biology.
