About Me


I am a bioinformatics enthusiast.
My research interests span over the fields of Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Cheminformatics, and Machine Learning.
In particular, I am interested in using computational techniques to help cancer patients, multi-omics study of cancer, and development of anti-cancer drugs.
In my leisure time, I am a open-source contributor. You can check my contributions through github profile and libraries.io profile.
I also maintain a facebook fan page BCInformatics to share news and my opinions related to my research interests.
