What I'm looking for

- Work on challenging multi-omics problems
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (wet lab + dry lab)
- Apply ML/AI to accelerate drug discovery or precision medicine
- Contribute to open-source bioinformatics tools

I hold 2+ years of research experience in epigenetic dynamic simulation using HMM, Genomics, RNA-Seq analysis, epigenetics, eQTL mapping, and machine learning, Deep learning.

I worked in reputated institutes across CSIR-CCMB, IBAB, and CDFD, I help researchers extract meaningful patterns from complex biological datasets.

WHAT I DO
I build computational pipelines and develop algorithms that:

- Identify disease biomarkers from transcriptomic data (171-sample cohort study)
- Map genotype-phenotype-expression relationships using eQTL analysis
- Predict biological age from epigenetic marks using Random Forest & XGBoost
- Simulate epigenetic dynamics in aging using HMMs and Bayesian inference

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Published first-author paper in BMC Epigenetics & Chromatin (IF: 4.7)
2. Analyzed 1,796 ENCODE samples for age-associated histone modifications
3. Identified 356 disease resistance genes in crop genome (Panicum miliaceum)
4. Automated RNA-Seq processing pipeline reducing analysis time by 60%
