What I'm looking for

I seek senior research roles in mission-driven teams where I can apply NGS, multi-omics and ML to translational drug discovery, with collaborative, reproducible workflows and growth opportunities.

I am a Post Doctoral Research Associate in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics with six years of postdoctoral experience applying multi-omics analysis, machine learning, and NGS pipeline development to translational research in neurobiology, virology, and drug discovery. I have led and optimized NGS workflows, built automated computational pipelines (Nextflow/CWL), and applied AI/ML models to identify biomarkers and predict therapeutic responses.

I have acted as co-investigator and principal investigator on funded projects (DST-SERB, ICMR, CMPDF), authored peer-reviewed publications, and developed knowledge bases using public genomic resources to support precision-medicine goals. I collaborate effectively across disciplines, document reproducible workflows, and seek to apply computational approaches to accelerate development of life-changing therapies.
