Pardis C. Sabeti ((ペルシア語:پردیس ثابتی)) (born December 25, 1975) is an Iranian-American computational biologist, medical geneticist and evolutionary geneticist, who developed a bioinformatic statistical method which identifies sections of the genome that have been subject to natural selection and an algorithm which explains the effects of genetics on the evolution of disease. In 2014, Sabeti headed a group which used advanced genomic sequencing technology to identify a single point of infection from an animal reservoir to a human in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. RNA changes suggests that the first human infection was followed by exclusive human to human transmissions.〔(Single animal to human transmission event responsible for 2014 Ebola outbreak ) NIH press release, August 29, 2014〕 Sabeti is a full professor in the Center for Systems Biology and Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and on the faculty of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard School of Public Health, and is a senior associate member at the Broad Institute. Sabeti also is the current host of the educational series "Against All Odds: Inside Statistics" sponsored by Annenberg Learner. Her show is included in many high school statistics curriculums, such as the Statistics 1 course. ==Biography== Sabeti was born in 1975 in Tehran, Iran to Nancy and Parviz Sabeti. Her father was the deputy in SAVAK, Iran's intelligence agency, and a high ranking security official in Shah's regime.〔 Her family fled Iran little before the Islamic revolution in 1979 and found sanctuary in Florida. Sabeti went to Trinity Preparatory School in Central Florida and then went on to study biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1997 where she was a member of the varsity tennis team and class president, and was then a Rhodes Scholar at University of Oxford and completed her doctorate in evolutionary genetics in 2002, and graduated summa cum laude with a Doctor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School in 2006.The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans supported her graduate studies. She has received a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award in the Biomedical Sciences, a Packard Foundation award in Science and Engineering,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Packard Foundation Fellowship Directory: Pardis Sabeti )〕 and an NIH Innovator Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Iranian Scientist Wins NIH 2009 Innovator Award )〕 Sabeti is also the lead singer and writer for the rock band Thousand Days.〔 Sabeti is an annual participant in the Distinguished Lecture Series at the acclaimed Research Science Institute at MIT for high school students. In 2015, Sabeti was named one of TIME Magazine's Persons of the Year (Ebola Fighters) and listed on TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People list. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pardis Sabeti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
