I am a qualified bioinformatician with 6 years of post-PhD experience in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology. I have a background in microbiology and my expertise lies in solving infectious disease-related problems using in-silico approaches. Presently, I am working on pathogen-host interactions at the molecular level, using network modelling approaches. In my future research endeavours, I would like to enhance my expertise on network modelling and implement these approaches to model infectious diseases. In addition to my expertise in research, I am also passionate about teaching.
