Gayatri Kumar

I am Gayatri Kumar, a computational biologist by training and on the road to PhD have discovered a fondness for 'coding' puzzles among other interests.

As my initial training was in biotechnology, I can never cease to appreciate the limitless scope of learning that biological systems offer. As the building blocks of life, proteins are by far the most intriguing system and provide multiple different ways to address scientific questions. Biology is after all, applied science.

As an aside, a parallel interest in literature has offered many creative venues to keep my right brain up to speed.

Thesis title: Use of strategically designed protein-like sequences in structure and function recognition

Background: In my doctoral studies strategically designed sequences were employed  in the recognition of new structure and function based relationships between protein families. These sequences have been shown to improve homology detection between sequentially distant members of a structural fold by filling the void and sparse regions in protein sequence space. In this work, we have for the first time extended the use of these designed proteins in identifying evolutionary relationships.
