Background

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Biological Sciences. I am doing bioinformatics in genomics and also involved with development of computational methods for predicting protein structures. In the bioinformatics for genomics, I am involved in the collaborative project between researchers from the ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, National Institute for Agriculture and Botany (NIAB), and Birmingham University to investigate the mechanism by which Pseudomonas syringae causes canker disease in cherry plants. I am developing bioinformatics pipeline, which aims to analyse large genomic data samples associated with canker cherry disease. Another project is IntFOLD, which is involved with development of bioinformatics tools to predict 3-dimensional structure of proteins and their functions from amino acid sequences. Previously, I also worked as Bioinformatician for Genomics at the University ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø with different genomics and post-genomic projects. In genomics I mainly use next generation sequencing (NGS) technique to understand microbial involvements in several aspects such agriculture (e.g biocontrol), energy, poultry and how these do have health impacts on human beings and other species. Generally, my research focuses on developing computational tools for understanding and decode biological data in the postgenomic era.
