T3 Molecular Genetics
Description: Nara Marella | Data Scientist | Biomedicine | Informatics
In the complex network of interconnected branches of Science pushing frontiers of human knowledge, I am positioned at the interface of three vertices 1. Biomedicine 2. High-throughput Technology and 3. Informatics. Naturally, my early interests spanned a wide range of thema that were connected to vertices. Over the years, these generic interests ripened to specific expertise - Development and Application of Computational Tools to solve Real-World Biomedical challenges .
For example, at Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research , I addressed two research themes 1. Elucidate transcript, protein and metabolite level changes accompanying root senescence and 2. Identify gene expression patterns in nutrient perturbed crop plants.
At Leibniz Lung Center , the challenge was to develop advanced computational methods for in-depth interpretation of Mass Spectrometry (MS) data - 1. I designed, built and implemented a novel metric for determining lipidome homology and 2. developed an error modeling technique to make MS derived biological insights robust to instrument threshold perturbations. At the National Center for Biological Sciences , I applied sequence alignment algorithms for small molecule structure comparison and developed a stoch
