Biography

Rohit earned his Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology from the Noida Institute of Engineering & Technology, Gr. Noida, India in 2019 and his Masters in Bioinformatics from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi in 2022. He earned 2nd position in his MSc. program and did his Masters Dissertation in Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D) and came to KAUST as a Visiting Student in 2022.

As a PhD student at Pathogen Genomics Lab at KAUST, he now performs bioinformatics analysis on a variety of genomic datasets such as CHIPSeq, RNASeq, SWGA and WGS using R, Python and Nextflow. 

Research Interests

My work focuses on generating insights using pathogen related genomics and transcriptomics data generated by my lab. This includes understanding function of hypothetical proteins using CHIPSeq, Bulk and scRNAseq data, developing automated pipelines in Nextflow and R for streamlining data analysis, data visualization, and analyzing COVID related sequencing data.
