Senior🎓
Top SchoolSandeep Venkataram is a computational biologist with 11 years of experience who bridges wet-lab insight and production-grade bioinformatics to drive discovery in industry and academia. He has led interdisciplinary projects from bench to code—developing high-throughput NGS and pooled-screening pipelines, custom APIs and visualization tools, and an in-house fungal phylogeny spanning tens of thousands of genomes. His work has generated peer-reviewed publications in top journals and widely used software for barcode extraction and time-series evolutionary analysis. Comfortable in Python and R (with C++ experience), he excels at turning noisy biological assays into robust, reusable data infrastructure that teams use daily. Notably, he discovered a novel evolutionary phenomenon (“Evolutionary Stalling”) during his postdoc, illustrating his knack for uncovering unexpected biology through quantitative analysis.
