Research Interest

 Novel ideas in genomics and business NOW; developed a concept of Genomics technology HUB : to help startups to global majors to design develop test market and sell new technologies and applications - all in one place!!  NEW: We are initiating several start-ups in the area of genomic applications AND a nextGen company that help apply social media -all with the same old theme of simple things that make a big difference - enthusiastic partners and advisors, please (re) connect. * AgriGenomics, Big data analysis pipelines and medical annotation of SNPs   It is an art (and partially science) how to apply the knowledge and contacts to create and test new ideas and test them collaboratively - Welcome suggestions, advice and collaborations in science and business. As a hobby: preparing a scientific manuscript on meaning of life, career and happiness. Experiments with LinkedIn and Facebook is my hobby - the experiments were partially successful - the largest NGS/Microarray group in the world is the end result! Mantra - simplicity in operations and sophistication in thinking  New generation sequencing methods and their connection with microarray technology. How to make use NGS New Gen Seq sequencing data quickly? Bridging the gap between technologies and applications  Biological interpretation high throughput data.   Specialties: Hunting for SIMPLE improvements that make a big difference Amelioration of molecular biology and Bioinformatics methods New ideas for research and development Drug repurposing / drug repositioning Accelerating collaborations and new business ventures Developed and propagating a new business concept of love friendship and harmony :-) Bridging the gap between manufacturers and distributors / service providers GOT AN IDEA? YOU have come so far! Write to me! I am practicing writing and improving presentation skills - checkout articles I am churning out as a part of dry run in linkedin pulse :-)
