Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChayan Saha is a bioinformatician and postdoctoral researcher in Uppsala with eight years of experience applying computational methods to evolutionary biology and genomics. He holds a PhD in Molecular Biology (bioinformatics) from Umeå University and developed the FlaGs/webFlaGs tools for gene neighbourhood conservation, which have enabled novel discoveries in toxin–antitoxin system evolution. Comfortable across Python, Bash, R, SQL and web technologies, he has moved between academia and industry (including roles at Bionamic and SAGA Diagnostics) translating research-grade methods into R&D and product contexts. His background in NGS analysis and exome studies complements his phylogenetics work, giving him a rare blend of variant-level and macroevolutionary perspectives. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on developer who pairs curiosity about evolutionary processes with a steady drive to produce reusable computational tools.
