About Me

A computational biologist with full-time research experience in studying biomolecular entities such as proteins and nucleic acids using computational approaches. The central interest of my research is to understand the sequence-structure-function paradigm of protein-RNA complexes especially in human RNA-binding proteins. Experience in working on both Windows and Unix/Linux environment and proficiency in scripting and programming languages including shell scripting and Python. Technical skills involved in my research includes biomolecular modeling, biomolecular simulations using Molecular Dynamics and designing of prediction algorithms using Machine Learning.
