Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRavin Poudel is a computational biologist with nine years of experience applying network and machine learning models to microbial genomics and therapeutic discovery, currently a Scientist II in Computational Biology at Foundation Medicine. He has built scalable bioinformatics pipelines (Nextflow, Snakemake, Docker, AWS) that improved processing efficiency and reduced costs across industry and government labs, and has a track record of turning large multi-omics datasets into actionable biomarkers and biosynthetic gene cluster insights. His PhD in Microbial Ecology and expertise in graph-based community modeling underpin novel approaches to select candidate taxa and prioritize targets for therapeutics. Ravin blends hands-on software development—authoring custom Python tools and gRNA finders—with strong cross-disciplinary communication, enabling smoother computational–experimental collaboration. An avid bioinformatics hacker and GitHub-active researcher, he particularly enjoys integrating chemoinformatics into microbiome-driven drug discovery.
