Swathi Dhanasekaran

Senior Data Scientist - Bioinformatics | Computational Biology | Translational Omics | Reproducible AI/ML Workflows

I am a bioinformatics data scientist with 4+ years of experience building reproducible NGS pipelines, multi-omics analyses, and machine-learning workflows for translational research. My work focuses on turning complex genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data into decision-ready biological insight for target discovery, biomarker exploration, and therapeutic strategy.

I work across bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, CRISPR Perturb-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, eCLIP-seq, PRO-seq, long-read sequencing, Hi-C/HiChIP, public data mining, AWS/HPC infrastructure, Nextflow, Docker, R/Bioconductor, Python, and applied AI/ML.

Professional Focus

Area What I Bring
Translational bioinformatics Target discovery, biomarker analysis, disease-context interpretation
Reproducible omics Nextflow, Docker, Conda, AWS, HPC, GitHub-ready workflows
Regulatory genomics Enhancer-gene links, regulatory RNAs, ASO target prioritization
Public data strategy GEO, SRA, GTEx, TCGA, dbGaP, UK Biobank, ClinVar, GWAS Catalog, ENCODE
AI/ML for biology Feature engineering, classification, clustering, neural networks, biomedical imaging

Selected Work

Project Summary
FibroTarget-Liver Built a reproducible single-cell liver fibrosis workflow to prioritize disease-relevant targets across public MASH/cirrhosis datasets, delivering ranked candidates, validation views, an executive report, Shiny dashboard, and Nextflow demo.
Mishra IL10 ATAC-seq Analysis Reanalyzed public IL10 ATAC-seq data to interpret chromatin-accessibility changes with reproducible reporting, connecting epigenomic signal to practical biological interpretation.
