Wet lab scientist who somehow ended up writing Python at 2am.
I'm a PhD candidate at BRIC-RGCB Thiruvananthapuram, working on obesity-driven pancreatic cancer. My actual job is raising mice, doing immunostaining, and kicking cytometers till it run for real. The bioinformatics happened gradually, then all at once.
It will take days to write a simple code for me and often can't write a single code without googling and AI'ing. All code still ircks me. But i somehow cross the bridge at the end. Fake it till you make it! (I guess)
Currently working on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) - specifically how STAT3 loss reshapes the tumour microenvironment in obese mice. The short version: I planned, then i failed so i resort to omics data(only to fail again).
- LC-MS/MS proteomics
- Untargeted serum metabolomics (no code thanks to MetaboAnalyst.ca)
- Computational pathology (WSI/DICOM pipeline — this one was not in the plan)
- Bayesian hierarchical modelling (this one really was not in the plan)
- Single cell RNA analysis (this one was in the plan but did not happen, but learned to do it for the plan above this)
- Bulk RNA seq analysis
- Metagenomics (no code thanks to Microbiomeanalyst.ca)

Taught biology, ocular biochemistry to optometrists in Kozhikode, KL, IN. Coached students for CSIR-NET and GATE. That version of me would be surprised by the GitHub account.
