Khushbu Patel is a Bioinformatics Scientist III with 9 years of experience specializing in computational genomics and NGS-driven multi-omics analysis, currently applying her expertise at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She designs and productionizes reproducible pipelines (Snakemake, Docker) and leverages R, Python, Bash and HPC to analyze WGS/WES, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq and methylation datasets for pediatric cancer research. Khushbu combines solid wet-lab foundations in microbiology and molecular genetics with rigorous statistical practice—using DESeq2/edgeR, survival analysis, GSEA and dimensionality reduction—to translate complex data into actionable biological insights. She has contributed to outbreak surveillance workflows at CDC (hqSNP, phylogenetics, contamination checks) and routinely integrates clinical metadata to nominate therapeutic targets. Known for building internal RShiny apps and automated QC metrics, she focuses on reproducibility, version control and scalable analyses that support grants and manuscripts. Her background bridging public health pathogen genomics and pediatric oncology gives her a distinctive perspective on translating high-throughput data into clinical research impact.
