Biotechnology researcher with 10+ years of experience | Expert in Proteomics | Experienced in big data analysis

Profile Summary

I am a biochemist with a PhD in biotechnology and an advanced diploma in Bioinformatics. I have more than 10+ years of research experience, particularly in the area of human diseases. My core expertise lies in the use of proteomics to understand disease mechanisms and to identify predictive and prognostic markers, which would help predict a disease onset or progression. I had employed these approaches in two major eye diseases and identified and validated prognostic markers for diabetic retinopathy and predictive protein markers for fungal keratitis. I have wide microbiological experience and have worked with clinically relevant bacteria (Mycobacterium) and fungi (Aspergillus and Fusarium). I have extraordinary skill in designing, planning and executing research projects and have successfully completed a number of private and govt funded projects. Owing to my bioinformatics training, I am also well versed with big data analysis (RNA-seq and proteomics data). I use R to perform statistical analysis and create visualisations for the data analyzed.
