I graduated (Bachelor of Technology) in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India. Its the best institute for Engineering and Technology in India and also one of the best in Asia. According to CBS 60 minutes - "Put Harvard, MIT and Princeton together, and you begin to get an idea of the status of IIT in India". I started PhD in 2006 in the field of Bioinformatics at University College Dublin, the largest university in Ireland. [More]
After graduation I, alongwith some of my collegues, was invited by Prof. Sameer K. Brahmachari, the director of Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology, Delhi, India (currently Director General of CSIR) to do a few projects in Bioinformatics. I liked Bioinformatics very much and thats how my career in Bioinformatics started. I got an offer from Evolutionary Genomics Group at University of Miguel Hernández, Alicante Spain in 2003. [More]
I have a few publications but you know publications are never enough. I am not satisfied with the number of publications I have had in last few years. I have acted as reviewer for a few articles in Bioinformatics journal. I have coauthored a chapter in a book "Evolutionary Biology of Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens" published by ASM Press in October 2007. I hope I will have more publications in the near future. [More]
I got a chance to do multiple projects in Evolutionary Genomics Group, Alicante, Spain but most of the projects were related to Comparative Genomics or Genome Evolution. I developed a few databases such as Micro-Mar: a database for dynamic representation of marine microbial community. At UCD I have been working on evolution of short linear motifs and intrinsic disorder in viruses specially HIV that causes AIDS. [More]
