Saleembhasha Asanigari is a Postdoc Fellow (Visiting Fellow) at the National Cancer Institute/National Institutes of Health, working on epigenetic and genomic profiles from brain tumors to identify tumor subclass concerning clinical response for a better treatment approach. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Hyderabad, India. I worked on Coding (mRNA) and long non-coding (lncRNA) genes in pan-cancer to identify a unified model of lncRNA's role in regulating protein-coding genes in cancer proliferation and development using a systems biology approach. During my graduation, I have expertise in computational and systems biology experiments and cell and molecular biology techniques such as mammalian cell culture and gene knockdown using siRNA in cancer cell lines.
I am interested in using computational methods to analyze a large collection of biological data, such as epigenetic and genomic profiles, generated by high-throughput sequencing technology to make novel predictions accounting to individual patients in precision prognostic and diagnostics of cancer, ultimately improving better patient survival.
