Research Teaching Other
  • I have broad interests in Bioinformatics. Over the years, I have explored many of the side-streets, and would like to think that it makes me more than the sum of my papers .
    However, this is what the numbers say.
  • These days, we are into computational proteomics. Find software and more, here.

  • Considering working with me? Do read this first.

  • Also, check out other CSE colleagues: Professors Pevzner, Eskin, and Freund focus on bioinformatics.

  • I have the privilege of working with many collaborators, and excellent students.

  • Online course material.

  • Prof. Pavel Pevzner and I teach CSE280A,B for students who like to do research without learning some biology first.

  • Prof. Ideker and I co-teach CSE283: functional genomics, on computational analysis of large biological data-sets.

  • I teach a (senior level) undergraduate class on Biological data analysis .

  • UCSD hosts a unique interdisciplinary PhD. program in bioinformatics.

  • Tools are as important as the science they support. Send your best work to RECOMB and ISMB.

  • The discipline must be maturing, if the founders are writing autobiographical notes.

  • In an earlier life, I worked at Celera, on the human genome project. James Shreeve wrote a book on it. A lot of gossip, a bit of science.

  • Even earlier, I attended IITD. I guess that obligates a citation of Chetan Bhagat's book. It is funny.
