Bioinformatics PhD with 12+ years of experience across academia and industry for large-scale genomic data analysis.

Profile Summary

Innovative and highly skilled bioinformatics professional with over a decade of experience in leading the development of computational methods and the analysis of large-scale genomic and epigenomic datasets from cancer patients. I developed efficient bioinformatics and AI/ML pipelines to study diverse NGS assays such as whole genome shotgun, RNA-seq, single-cell RNAseq, ChIP-seq, Bisulfite-seq, ATAC-seq, metagenomic data etc. Those projects brought out key biological insights, and subsequent findings were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Examples of bioinformatics pipelines available on GitHub include CRIS (2021), VirusTaxo (2022), and diffER (2024); and the reproducible code from my recent project. My research interests focus on two aspects 1) developing bioinformatics methods and predictive models for efficient data analysis, and 2) conducting systematic analysis of the multi-omic data to discern intricate mechanisms in human health and diseases. With extensive hands-on experience in wrangling, analyzing, and visualizing biomedical data, version control, and working on Linux-based highperformance computing, I excel at bridging the gap between raw data and insights. I am adept at working with geographically diverse teams, leading cross-functional teams, mentoring junior scientists, and collaborating with clinicians and scientists to translate research findings into actionable outcomes. I possess strong technical proficiency in bioinformatics tools, programming languages (Python, R Bash, Nextflow), and data visualization, with a demonstrated ability to communicate complex data to diverse audiences.
