Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbhilesh Dhawanjewar is a bioinformatician with a decade of experience applying computational genomics to mitochondrial biology and human mitochondrial disease. Currently at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit and University of Cambridge, he specializes in analyzing diverse sequencing technologies including single-cell data to uncover disease-relevant insights. His background spans evolutionary genomics and method development—from PhD work identifying native occurrences of pathogenic mitochondrial variants across 1200 mammals to building Nextflow pipelines and Pool-Seq analysis at UCL. He has strong skills in phylogenetics, ancestral reconstruction, protein structural modelling and stability estimation, pairing evolutionary insight with practical pipeline engineering. Notably, his master’s project produced a top-ranked, deployed scoring method for protein quaternary structure prediction, reflecting a blend of algorithm development and real-world deployment. Based in London, he combines academic rigor with reproducible computational workflows to tackle questions at the intersection of evolution and mitochondrial medicine.
