Biography :

Bioinformatics fascinated me since beginning. Having background in Biology and Computer Science, I selected it as my research career. I did PhD in Bioinformatics from MANIT, Bhopal and joint research work for PhD was also done from Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel. I worked with Dr. KR Pardasani and Dr. Tal Pupko; their role as supervisor and co-supervisor respectively for my PhD. After completing my PhD in 2008, I won post doctoral fellowship from planning and budgeting committee (VATAT), TAU, Israel. I did my post doctoral studies in Molecular Evolution and Functional Genomics in Dr. Dorothee Huchon's lab. Returning from Israel, I joined DAVV, Indore, India for a year during 2009-10. I joined JUIT in July 2010 and since then I am working on various aspects of Genomics, and Proteomics towards their involvement in various human disease. I am also interested and working on the annotation of complex Biological Networks through Computational Systems Biology approach. I am specifically working on DNA repair mechanisms and their role in malignancies. I am also exploring Alzheimer's Disease (AD) through myriad of computational approaches. 6 PhDs awarded under my guidance and 2 more are pursuing. I had received funding from various government agencies which includes DST, DBT and ICMR. More about me is available at: http://www.bioinfoindia.org/raj  and   http://bit.ly/tiratharaj 

Project Areas for Bachelor/Master Project work:
Bioinformatics, Computational Genomics and Computational Systems Biology.
DNA Repair Mechanisms and associated human malignancies.
Alzheimer's Disease and other Neurological disorders.
Data Mining, Machine Learning and Deep Learning applications for Biological data analysis.
Web based softwares/applications and database development for above mentioned topics.
Any other topic of relevance from Biomedical and Healthcare domains (falling under CEHTI).
