Orly Alter develops quantum mechanics-based multi-tensor AI/ML, which, as she experimentally validated, is uniquely able to discover accurate, precise, clinically actionable, and mechanistically interpretable predictors from small-cohort, noisy, and multi-dimensional, multi-omic data. Alter is a USTAR associate professor at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute and the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, a scientific advisory board member of the NCI-DOE Cancer Moonshot collaboration, and the CSO and a co-founder of Prism AI Therapeutics, Inc. As a genetics postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, she invented the concept of the “eigengene” in a top 50 most cited PNAS paper of all time. Her Ph.D. thesis in applied physics, also at Stanford, was published by Wiley and is recognized as crucial to gravitational wave detection and quantum computing.
