Senior🎓
Top SchoolVenkatesh Chellappa is a bioinformatics developer and doctoral researcher based in Stockholm with nine years of focused experience in cancer genomics, precision medicine, and high-throughput computational pipelines. He leads bioinformatics efforts at Karolinska Institutet, driving liquid biopsy multiomics projects—from cfDNA library optimization to ML-driven tumor mutation burden prediction and low-frequency variant detection for MRD and clinical trial pre-screening. Comfortable across shell, Python, R and cloud/HPC environments, he builds and deploys reproducible pipelines with containers (Docker, Singularity), Spark and AWS, and has operational DevOps experience at Karolinska University Hospital. His background includes leading genomics teams and shipping enterprise-scale genomics software, plus hands-on work in phosphoproteomics QC and R-Shiny visualization. Notably, his PhD blends methodological innovation with practical deployment: developing ML models and scalable pipelines that translate ctDNA profiling into actionable biomarkers for oncology trials.
