Bioinformatics Engineer III
Jan 2014 - Mar 2015 (1 year 2 months)
- Developed the framework to detect, filter & annotate structural aberrations from NGS datasets.
- Compared datasets & published w.r.t TCGA & MSK-IMPACT targeted sequencing panel having effusion fluids, FFPE and FROZEN samples for Ovarian Carcinoma.
- Mentored summer student to analyze data from MSK-IMPACT to optimize Indel detection process.
- Worked with the clinical group in updating and optimizing of the clinical ngs pipeline for faster runtime and high quality results.
- Analyzed whole exome sequencing data from Agilent Sure Select, Agilent Haloplex & Nimblegen SeqCap for comparison w.r.t Uniformity, Coverage, GC Bias & Reproducibility features for each assay.
Bioinformatics Analyst
Oct 2012 - Dec 2013 (1 year 2 months)
- Developed computational framework to analyze next generation sequencing data generated from MSK-IMPACT a targeted next generation sequencing panel for solid tumors.
- Using this framework I processed multiple research project leading to multiple publications.
- Help to transition this research framework to clinical lab, thus it became the basis for all computational pipeline [Raindance & Ion Torrent platform] currently running in clinical lab. The framework was build in modular fashion for plug & play at each processing step and running it again from any-step where it might fail, without the need to rerun whole process.
- Helped clinical lab to validate the computational framework as well as validate the MSK-IMPACT assay to be used in New York State.

iAnnotateSV:iAnnotateSV is a Python library and command-line software toolkit to annotate and visualize structural variants detected from Next Generation DNA sequencing data.
Feb 2015 - Present
iAnnotateSV is a Python library and command-line software toolkit to annotate and visualize structural variants detected from Next Generation DNA sequencing data. This works for majority is just re-writing of a tool called dRanger_annotate written in matlab by Mike Lawrence at Broad Institue. But it also has some additional functionality and control over the annotation w.r.t the what transcripts to be used for annotation. It is designed for use with hybrid capture, including both whole-exome and custom target panels, and short-read sequencing platforms such as Illumina.
Ion-Torrent Data Analysis
Aug 2012 - Present
Analyzing Ion-Torrent data for developing snap-shot genomes for marker-discovery. Process the 200bp reads as well as 400bp reads and made snap-shot assembly using tmap, and produced mutational profile data using GATK.
Web-Portal Development for Genome Assembly SnapShot
Sep 2011 - Present
Developed an Perl, XML-XSLT based Web-Portal to visualize results of Snapshot-Genome Assembly.
