Senior🎓
Top SchoolPooja Sethiya is a computational biologist and bioinformatician with nine years of experience applying multi-omics strategies to infectious disease and fungal biology. Currently a Research Affiliate at the University of Sydney, she recently completed a postdoctoral role at The Westmead Institute where she integrated RNASeq, ChIPSeq and ribosome profiling to dissect transcriptional regulation and drug responses in pathogenic fungi. Her PhD work combined genomics and transcript stability analyses during host infection and produced an R package (fastaR) for streamlined sequence handling, reflecting a habit of turning methodological needs into reusable tools. Comfortable across plant and microbial systems, she has a track record of translating complex sequencing datasets into biological insight and experimental hypotheses. Based in Sydney, she brings a researcher’s rigor with a developer’s pragmatism, frequently bridging wet-lab questions and computational solutions.
