PROFILE SUMMARY:

My current work focuses on integrating meta-*-omic data and discovering novel therapeutics for human diseases of interest.

Previously, I was working on Environmental Meta-omics and Comparative Genomics mostly in the 'Great Lakes'(US) and deep sea hydrothermal vent environment.

I am always looking for new and exciting opportunities, feel free to contact me if you think I might be of any help to you.

CURRENT PROJECTS :

  • Develop
  • Developing a suite of tools and pipelines that will be used for the comparative, functional and statistical analysis of NGS data. (PostgreSQL, Perl).
  • De-novo assembly of Meta-omics data. (newbler, MIRA, velvet, meta-velvet, IDBA, metaIDBA, Oases, Trinity, AMOS, MetAMOS).
  • Phage Proteomic Tree: A trait based taxonomy tree for phages and viruses.
  • Bioinformatic support
