Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAshwinikumar Kulkarni is Director of Neuroinformatics and an Assistant Professor at the Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute, bringing over a decade of expertise at the intersection of computational biology, genomics, and neuroscience. He develops and applies transcriptomic and gene regulatory network approaches to dissect molecular signatures underlying brain diseases, sleep, and circadian rhythm regulation. His work spans foundational research and translational insight, aiming to map how gene expression dynamics drive healthy and diseased brain states. A career-long presence at UT Southwestern and UT Dallas reflects deep institutional continuity and mentorship in computational genomics from graduate training through independent faculty leadership. He combines wet-lab collaborative experience with advanced computational methods—an uncommon blend that enables rigorous, biologically grounded models of neural systems. Based in Dallas, he leverages this hybrid skill set to translate complex genomic data into actionable hypotheses for neuroscience.
