I'm Sharu Paul, a Research Scientist in Bioinformatics working in the Genome Informatics Facility at Iowa State University. I collaborate with USDA researchers, faculty at ISU, and industry scientists for pipeline development and data analysis across multiple projects.
- Studying infection response, cell type characterization using Single Cell RNAseq in multiple species
- Analyzing proteomics to study adverse reproductive effects of treatments such as heat stress, forever chemicals, and carcinogens
- Implementing a Transformer based model for DNA analysis
- Writing workbooks and conducting workshops for researchers early in their bioinformatics journey
- Applying Deep Neural Networks in medicine
- Single cell and spatial technologies
- Transposons in maize
- I named a new species - Candidatus Haliotispira prima gen. nov., sp. nov.
An amazing advisor once said to me: "In science, there is always a balance between absolute truth and useful truth. It is better to strive for useful truth and get things done than absolute truth and never finish".
