About me
Namasté! I work at Bioinformatics team, CDAC, Pune, India. I also serve as an Associate Director of Bioinformatics.org I'm in lieu of Philosophiae Doctrate from LJR lab at Roskilde University, Denmark. I founded Bioclues.org in 2006, a virtual organization, that masks projects online and builds mentor-mentee relationship. I look forward to see Bioclues.org as a regional affiliate of Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network start January 1, 2009.
Biography
I was born in coal capital of India - Kothagudem where I had my schooling at St. Joseph's High School and under graduate studies at VVDC. I did my Masters from GGU- School of Biotechnology followed by project fellowship at CCMB, Hyderabad, India. I moved to Denmark in 2004 to start my PhD before I worked at Biosolutions and Cenitech, Hyderabad, India. Computational Biology fascinated me even before my under graduate schooling just because I was very poor in practising wet lab ;) research.
Interests
My interests are to study protein-protein interactions and top-down systems biology of hypothetical proteins in human. My focus is more on Mitochondrial proteins. Besides this iota of research, I mentor students online through MentorNet. You may find my favorite articles that I compile through Connotea from time to time.
Selected Publications
Few papers that have been communicated would appear soon. I respect Open Access Initiative

Miscellany
BioNetworks
My associates feel that I am a good organizer ;0) than a researcher as evident from my office desk. I feel that's the way to brighten my work. I also blog sometimes by pegging some thoughts through Biospot and ABC Tales. I dream alot so as you do and visualize cartoons through my dreams. Some of them could be checked through Biotoons.
I try to engage myself and learn something from biggies through Nature Network, The SAB and the NobelPrize. Whence in Denmark, I was involved in InterNiche, developing Biodenmark.org through Biowiki., thanks to Biofoundation.
Voluntary associations
Rotaract organisation through Rotaract club of Pune Shaniwarwada, International Rotaract Club of Copenhagen, Rotaract club of SMILE, volunteer through Volunteermatch.org, The Humanitarian Water and Food Award, Denmark, GiveIndia, CRY, UNICEF, Teach India, GreenPeace and Mitoaction.org
Favorite past-time
Travelling
I love to travel, while enjoying a sip of ;) coke with lemon. I'm 29 years old and 'm privileged to have been to 30 countries so far :0) Can I reach my target of 100 countries before I bid adieu to this world?
Admiration
I'm a Gandhian and a great admirer of MK Gandhiji and Nelson Mandela and often take inspiration through Dr. Abdul Kalam's works.
