Featured Researchers

Sangeeta Shukla; Bioinformatics scientist, children’s hospital of Philadelphia

Sangeeta is a bioinformatics scientist with experience in database management, SDLC, and ML/AI implementation in biology. Her vast experience makes her the perfect liaison to work with and bring both technical and scientific users/researchers together to speak a common language. Her mission is to keep learning and stay up-to-date with modern tools and methods that can enable a faster and more seamless transition of scientific research into practical inferences and conclusions that can lead to productization.

Seth Berke, Graduate at johns hopkins university

“FAIR data seeks to further biomedical research through this lens where everyone has access to it, but the issue and the barrier is that often there's no standard way of analyzing it. There are also barriers with data management, metadata and other reasons that people struggle with analyzing this data that's available to everyone,” he said. “We use cloud computing technology to import this data, to analyze it and find meaningful results.”

Mingzhou Fu; Graduate Research Assistant, NYU School of Medicine

Mingzhou’s research is to discover coding and noncoding variants and genes for Hirschsprung's disease, which is a rare complex disease with over 60% genetic heritability. We believe that identifying the best methods to address the genetics of this disease will not only benefit its treatment and prevention, but also expedite the genetic discovery of other similar diseases.

Soumya Rao; Post-Doctorate, University of Missouri-Kansas City

Dr. Soumya Rao specializes in oral and craniofacial sciences and is currently working in Dr. Tim Cox's lab. She leverages the new variant search tool for scientific breakthroughs
