Summary
Dhruv Khatri is a computational biologist and data scientist with 12 years of experience bridging biology, computation, and AI-driven protein engineering. Currently a Scientist in BioTDR at Eli Lilly, he applies ML and computational design to accelerate large-molecule discovery and protein engineering. His background includes hands-on bioinformatics work at UC San Diego鈥攂uilding single-cell RNA-seq pipelines, mining TCGA/GTEx for cancer insights, and visualizing ecDNA co-amplification on Neo4j-powered networks. Dhruv combines production-ready pipeline development (Linux, R, shell scripting) with scientific communication, having presented detailed reports and executive briefings during internships. Based in San Diego and pursuing an MS in Data Science, he pairs academic rigor with practical deployment experience on supercomputers and collaborative lab environments. Less obvious: he blends survey-scale data engineering (Qualtrics API, large-scale participant management) with molecular-scale analyses, giving him a rare end-to-end view of biological data workflows.
