Computational Biology

Naveen Duhan

Building AI-driven bioinformatics systems that translate complex biological data into clear, actionable insight.

I collaborate with experimental and computational teams to turn noisy sequencing data into clear, decision-ready biological insight.

Open to collaborations in multi-omics, host–pathogen systems, and AI for genomics.
