Top SchoolShashank Jariwala is an Associate Director of Computational Biology at GSK with 11 years of experience applying computational genomics and biophysics to drive target discovery and drug pipeline decisions. He combines large-scale transcriptomics and genetics analyses with enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics to reveal how disease-associated mutations, post-translational modifications, and evolutionary changes alter macromolecular function. At GSK he partners across biology, chemistry, and clinical teams to embed novel computational approaches into decision-making across R&D. Trained with a PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of Michigan and a background in information systems from Carnegie Mellon, he blends rigorous academic methods with practical, cross-functional delivery. Notably, his work links atomic-level mechanistic insight to population-scale genomic signals, helping prioritize targets with both mechanistic plausibility and therapeutic relevance.
