About me
Namasté! I am a Research Scientist in Systems Biology at Birla Institute of Scientific Research (BISR), Jaipur, India. I obtained my PhD from Aalborg University, Denmark after having worked in Lene Juel Rasmussen's lab. I went on to gain seven years of post-doctoral experience and sabbatical visits in various laboratories before taking up the current position.
Interests
I'm a dry biologist curious to know how of a biology of a system. My interests are to study protein-protein interactions and top-down systems biology of hypothetical proteins, long noncoding RNAs in human, focusing on Mitochondrial proteins. My recent interests have been into elucidating the mechanisms underpinning small molecular interactions through clinical exomes. Apart from this, I have had intermittently worked on identifying the candidate genes involved in synthetic framework in bacteria. Besides this, I am an opportunist helper in providing bioinformatics/systems solutions to scientists in other allied fields.
Mentoring
I mentor students online through Bioclues. You may find my favorite articles that I compile through Citeulike from time to time.
PhD fellows
The following are the PhD fellows that I co-supervise
- Pradeep Tiwari, Birla Institute of Scientific Research, Jaipur working on "Systems phenome interactions of Asian indian type-2 diabetes"
