I did Masters in Biotech followed by Ph.D. in Life Sciences (Comp bio) at Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India, in 2008. I then served as one of the founding PIs for Open Source Drug Discovery Project where I conceived & developed protocols for crowdsourcing drug discovery. I enjoy working with anyone who has interest in addressing public health challenges. I have a large network on students (who I call SciTechtives) with whom I co-develop tools for data analysis.
