The Organizers

Kuljeet Sandhu

Associate Professor, IISERM


Kuljeet obtained his PhD degree in medicine from Karolinska Institue, Sweden in 2010. He further pursued post-doctoral fellowship at Genome Institute of Singapore and thereafter joined IISER-Mohali in Aug, 2012. He is interested in various questions, particularly pertaining to genome organisation and function, which can be answered within the realm of computational biology. He has extensive experience in statistical data analyses. He has been involved in post-NGS integrative analysis of large scale datasets like Hi-C, ChIA-PET, ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, DNAse-Seq, Repli-Seq etc. Kuljeet has been primarily using open source platforms like R and PERL. He routinely teaches data science, bioinformatics, network science, epigenetics and related courses at IISER-Mohali

Shashi B. Pandit

Associate Professor, IISERM


Shashi obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Sciences Bangalore (IISc). He continued his research career as a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Tech, Atlanta USA, and Genoscope, Evry France. Subsequently, he joined IISER Mohali in June 2012 as an independent PI. His group is involved in understanding the role of protein structures in shaping the molecular evolution of protein function(s). His group addresses questions such as the mechanistic basis of enzyme promiscuity, the mechanical strength of spider silk, single residue mutational effect (s) on allosteric behavior of proteins, proteome, and functional diversity due to alternative splicing. He has extensive experience in large-scale data analyses. In his work, he routinely uses Python and R for such analyses.
