Background

About Mohan Pradhan

Often problem solving is multidisciplinary- requiring expertise from different fields. Computational biology is one such field that is present at the intersection of computer science and biology, and is evolving rapidly with the scientific advances in information technology and biological knowledge discovery. I am a researcher in the field of computational and structural biology. My interests and expertise lies in developing as well as using existing theories in bioinformatics, computational and structural biology to gain a deeper understanding of complex cellular machinery. In terms of experience, I have been working in the fields for ~5 years. The work entails knowledge discovery from data derived from multiple disparate sources/experiments; and further using this knowledge to design experiments. I have developed several good prognostic as well as analytical algorithms and used these to extend the present understanding of molecular biology of cancer. I have 2 (first author) papers published in top tier journals and 4 journal papers (2 first authors, 2 second authors) in press/review. I am passionate about making professional acquaintances and exposure to new ideas.
