🔗 Profile

Wet lab scientist who somehow ended up writing Python at 2am. this is not a prof. CV for that you might need to find me on LinkedIn or click above

I'm a PhD candidate at BRIC-RGCB Thiruvananthapuram, working on obesity-driven pancreatic cancer. My actual job is raising mice, doing immunostaining, and kicking cytometers till it run for real. The bioinformatics happened gradually, then all at once.

It will take days to write a simple code for me and often can't write a single code without googling and AI'ing. All code still irks me. But I somehow cross the bridge at the end. Fake it till you make it! (I guess)

Currently working on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) - specifically how STAT3 loss reshapes the tumour microenvironment in obese mice. The short version: I planned, then I failed, so I resorted to omics data (only to fail again).

• LC-MS/MS proteomics (trying DEqMS with PSM count integration. you should give it a go.)
• Untargeted serum metabolomics (no code thanks to MetaboAnalyst.ca)
• Computational pathology (WSI/DICOM pipeline - this one was not in the plan)
• Bayesian hierarchical modelling with MCMC simulation (this one really was not in the plan, this is so difficult to publish since no one appreciates BHM in low sample scenarios. Find the details here)
• Single cell RNA analysis (this one was in the plan but did not happen, but learned to do it for the plan above this for single cell reference creation for bayesprism decon)
• Bulk RNA seq analysis (This one was so expected.)
• Metagenomics (no code thanks to Microbiomeanalyst.ca)
• An android app for my very crafty entrepreneur friend sofi <3
• Silly stuffs for my great boyfriend <3
• One huge software for flow cytometry called StreamFlow (This one certainly no plan but wanted grab some capitalist monopoly company by it ba**s. In other words, my licence expired and lab is poor and the commodity is so expensive for a niche analysis software like this. It must be open sourced. Against AI revolution but completely vibe coded with claude code. (Help me!or not)
• Evrygraph: Making a graphing software respect origin pro, used origin 8 and GraphPad prism. Time to open source it with graph and prism quality and rookie engineer vibe of origin 8. This may never see the light. Amen! (Vibe coding. I know! Hate me. )

Taught biology over 4 years, ocular biochemistry to optometrists in Kozhikode, KL, IN. Coached students for CSIR-NET and GATE. That version of me would be surprised by the GitHub account.
