Hi, I’m Mukund. I’m a computational scientist with a deep interest in the application of machine learning and statistical techniques for better understanding biological data. Hop on over to my LinkedIn profile to learn more about my professional experience.

I’m currently a Principal Machine Learning Scientist at Caris Life Sciences, where I lead ML Engineering efforts to deploy computational biology and computational pathology models and algorithms.

I have worked on computational problems in

  • early discovery in therapeutics: target discovery, precision medicine and biomarker discovery
  • omics data analysis for immunology, cancer and inflammatory disease applications: diverse genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data types with deep expertise in single cell RNASeq
  • biomarker and risk prediction using computer vision models on histopathology slides
  • deployment of models, pipelines and web applications in cloud environments
  • biophysical modeling and synthetic biology

My computational areas of expertise include

  • traditional statistical methods used in bioinformatics
  • machine learning algorithm and model development (classical machine learning and deep learning)
  • test-driven software development in cloud environments

The best way to get in touch with me is through LinkedIn.
