Hi, I'm Shay Maor (@mentatpsi)

Software Engineer and hobbyist Computational Biologist building at the intersection of genomics, bioinformatics, and health AI.

About Me

  • 🧬 Author of OSGenome and OSGenome v2 : a genomic analysis framework for 23andMe SNP data, featured in Harvard Medical School's BioGrids registry (v1)
  • πŸ“„ Co-author of two peer-reviewed Application Notes in Oxford Bioinformatics
  • πŸŽ“ BS Computer Science (Minor: Psychology) Β· MS Software Development
  • πŸ“š Currently completing Stanford School of Medicine's AI in Healthcare specialization on Coursera
  • πŸ₯ Focused on applying AI and machine learning to clinical and genomic data

What I'm Working On

  • Extending OSGenome with local AI integration for privacy-first genomic interpretation
  • Exploring ML applications in computational biology and clinical genomics
  • Building at the intersection of bioinformatics and modern AI tooling

Tech Stack

Languages:    Python, C#, Java
Bioinformatics: SNP analysis, genomic data pipelines
ML/AI:        scikit-learn, numpy, llama-cpp-python, HuggingFace

Publications

  • MOST – Visualization: Software for producing automated textbook-style maps of genome-scale metabolic networks Co-Author April 2017 Bioinformatics, Oxford Journals Visualization of metabolites, reactions and pathways in genome-scale metabolic networks (GEMs) can assist in understanding cellular metabolism. Three attributes are desirable in software used for visualizing GEMs: 1. automation, since GEMs can be quite large; 2. production of understandable maps that provide ease in identification of pathways, reactions, and metabolites; and 3. visualization of the entire network to show how pathways are interconnected. No software currently exists for visualizing GEMs that satisfies all three characteristics, but MOST-Visualization, an extension of the software package MOST (Metabolic Optimization and Simulation Tool), satisfies (1), and by using a pre-drawn overview map of metabolism based on the Roche map satisfies (2) and comes close to satisfying (3).

  • MOST: A software environment for constraint-based metabolic modeling and strain design Co-Author October 14, 2014 Bioinformatics, Oxford Journals MOST (Metabolic Optimization and Simulation Tool) is a software package that implements GDBB (Genetic Design through Branch and Bound) in an intuitive user-friendly interface with Excel-like editing functionality, as well as implementing FBA (Flux Balance Analysis), and supporting SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) and CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files. GDBB is currently the fastest algorithm for finding gene knockouts predicted by FBA to increase production of desired products, but GDBB has only been available on a command line interface, which is difficult to use for those without programming knowledge, until the release of MOST.
