I am a computational systems biologist with extensive experiences in multiple OMICs platforms, Big data integration, modeling biological biological systems. I am well versed with technology platforms such as - microarray, next-generation sequencing (genome, exome, transcriptome, Chip-seq), proteomics, metabolomics, gene silencing using RNAi , yeast-two hybrid etc.
I have worked with many biological systems starting from microbes, plants to clinical systems such as cancer. My diverse academic trainings, and research experiences give me the flexibility to undertake challenging research projects related to any biological systems with an interdisciplinary approach. I have been working in several interdisciplinary labs in multiple EU countries (Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Germany) since 2009. My multicultural and multidisciplinary experiences are big assets for me, which give me the strength to sustain, adapt and evolve robustly against any kind of harsh situations in my surroundings.
On personal side, I am a friendly creature, nonstop fun loving, caring, self confident, self motivated, optimistic, hard worker, adventurous explorer, traveler and a logical thinker. I have a positive look to life, and generally believe that all fellow beings are good at heart. Therefore, I don’t come into conflict easily. Above all, I have a deep sense of feelings for the mankind, and hope that every task I opted for will bring maximum happiness to them.
My name is pronounced as [pŋkj bɹa / pông-kôz bôra] in my native language Assamese. You might also encounter two other written forms of my surname with two different single point (silent) mutations. One mutation is the replacement of the letter 'A' with 'O' (BARAH/BORAH) in the fourth position and other is a permanent deletion of the letter 'H' at the last position (BORA_). These mutations are of purely silent in nature, and hence they do not have any influence on the original meaning.
