Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManish Rai is a postdoctoral research associate with a decade of experience engineering microbes and decoding molecular mechanisms across yeast, E. coli, and gut microbiome systems. He combines hands-on expertise in cloning and functional characterization of biosynthetic gene clusters with metabolic engineering and high-throughput in vivo/in vitro screening (FACS, LC/MS, GC/MS). His work spans advanced NGS-based analyses (Ribo-seq, RNA-seq), metabolomics pipelines (XCMS, MS-DIAL, GNPS), and genetic tools including CRISPR and MAGE, enabling end-to-end discovery from sequence to metabolite. At MIT he is applying synthetic biology to Yarrowia lipolytica while prior roles probed longevity signatures in yeast and adaptive thermotolerance in bacteria. Comfortable at the intersection of wet lab and computational analysis, he also brings data-science and ML interests from his GitHub profile to biological pattern discovery. Colleagues value his blend of technical breadth and practical assay development that turns complex omics into testable biological insight.
