Identity
I am a Bioinformatics Researcher at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), one of the top-ranked medical universities in the United States, where I work in the OB/GYN department conducting Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) on NIH All of Us Research Program data. My research focuses on identifying genetic variants associated with metabolic phenotypes including triglyceride levels, and I am currently investigating associations between LPL, APOA5, APOE and metabolic traits.
I hold a Master of Science in Bioinformatics with an Omics concentration from Northeastern University, Boston, and a Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics from REVA University, India.
My technical expertise includes:
• GWAS, Statistical Genetics, Genotype Imputation
• RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, Differential Expression Analysis
• Python, R, Bash, PLINK, STAR, FastQC, DESeq2
• Cloud Computing, HPC, SLURM
I have 2+ years of teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant at Northeastern University, Boston, where I taught Computational Biology to Master's students, covering Bash scripting, HPC workflows, RNA-seq quality control and reproducible research practices. I also conducted online tutoring during COVID via Zoom and provided home tuitions in India prior to that.
I specialize in tutoring BSc and MSc students in Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biostatistics, and Genomics, as well as CSIR NET Life Sciences aspirants.
