Pardis Sabeti has had an obsession with math and logic from a young age. When she was little, her mother set up a makeshift classroom in their home where Sabeti's older sister, Parisa, taught her everything she learned in school. By the time she started school herself, Sabeti already had all of her math facts memorized, so she simply worked on answering faster than everyone else. "I already had the information," she told The Smithsonian, "so it just got me to focus on excellence."
Her math proficiency led to a defining moment in 7th grade math class, one that foreshadowed her bright academic future. "The teacher came in with a VHS tape of a video of an MIT 2.007 (then 2.70) competition," she told Upworthy. "It's a wild event where mechanical engineers build robots for head-to-head competition with other robots. inom saw this and thought, 'What is this magical place?' It was my Charlie and the Chocolate Factory mome

Dr. Sabeti is a computational geneticist with expertise developing algorithms to detect genetic signatures of adaptation in humans and the microbial organisms that infect humans. Her lab’s key research areas include: (1) Developing analytical methods to detect and investigate evolution in the genomes of humans and other species, (2) examining host and viral genetic factors driving disease susceptibility to West African disease, (3) investigating microbial genomes to develop intervention strategies, and (4) determining the microbial cause of undiagnosed acute febrile illness. Dr. Sabeti—along with others—has hypothesized that an infection of genetically diverse Borrelia burgdorferi, also known as co-infections, may be the cause of the h
