I am a Postdoc researcher, UChicago working in the Madduri group at ANL and collaborating with the Odunsi group. My research interests involve understanding the human genome in complex disorders and developing tools along the way. My PhD work focused on on exploring the role of tissue-specific transcript variants in health and cancer, leveraging large language models (LLMs) to decode the complex regulatory logic of tissue specificity.
My work bridges bioinformatics, genomics, and AI to address critical challenges in precision medicine. Outside the lab, I enjoy hiking, kayaking and am always up for a nature retreat. I am also a Hindustani Classical student under Smt. Tapashi Banerjee and enjoy painting.
Mar. 2026: Started my Postdoc at University of Chicago.
Jan. 2026: Defended my PhD thesis: "Unraveling the tissue specific landscape using AI".
