I am a 4th Year PhD student in BMI, SBU advised by Dr. Ramana Davuluri and my Clinical Mentor is Dr. Paolo Boffetta. My research focuses 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. By analyzing variability and expression patterns in normal populations and their alterations in cancer, I aim to advance our understanding of complex diseases.
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.
Highlights of my Journey so far…
