I started my journey in bioinformatics the same way many students do — trying to learn complex tools, concepts, and workflows mostly on my own, with limited guidance and very little clarity on how theory connects to real-world applications.
Over time, I realized that the biggest challenge wasn’t a lack of interest or effort, but the absence of structured, practical learning that actually shows how bioinformatics is used beyond textbooks and lectures. That experience shaped the way I now approach teaching.
Today, I work as a bioinformatics educator and independent founder, with formal training in bioinformatics at the master’s level, focused on making bioinformatics, computational biology, and multi-omics practical, approachable, and relevant for students, learners, and early-career professionals. Through hands-on workshops, internships, and guided learning programs, I help learners move beyond theory and develop workflow-based, industry-aligned skills in bioinformatics and data analysis.
I actively engage with students, academic environments, and training initiatives to design learning experiences that bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world bioinformatics practice — so students don’t have to navigate this field alone the way many of us once did.
BI23 – Bioinformatics Learning Platform
An independent, founder-led educational platform focused on bioinformatics and computational life sciences. BI23 covers core and applied areas including computational biology, genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics, along with essential technical skills such as Python, Linux, and R for biological data analysis.
The platform is designed to help students build practical, workflow-based skills through structured learning programs, hands-on workshops, internships, and academic collaborations. Alongside technical training, BI23 also supports students in exploring career pathways in bioinformatics and related interdisciplinary fields.
Academic Engagement
Bioinformatics & Computational Biology Internship (15 Days) at Chennai Research Foundation
Invited as a resource person to deliver a 15-day internship program in bioinformatics and computational biology at CRF, Chennai. Conducted 6 structured sessions focused on core concepts, real-world workflows, and applied bioinformatics practice to support student learning and skill development.
Key topics covered included:
Biological databases and data management (NCBI, UniProt, PDB).
Sequence retrieval, BLAST, and result interpretation.
Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis.
Genomics, sequencing technologies, and NGS workflows.
Computational foundations using Linux, Python, and introductory machine learning concepts.
