Richa Mudgal, PhD

Richa Mudgal, PhD has a diverse range of work experience in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology. Richa is currently working at Elucidata as a Solutions Manager since January 2022. In this role, they are responsible for understanding customer requirements and developing scalable and ML-based solutions for multi-omics data curation, automated workflows, data analysis, and visualization. Richa also has expertise in NGS omics (single-cell RNAseq) and mass-spec omics.

Prior to this, Richa worked as a Sr. Bioinformatics Scientist at Elucidata starting from June 2019. In this position, they were involved in project design and management, as well as building solutions for data analysis and visualization using bioinformatics approaches.

From November 2015 to January 2018, Richa was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine. Richa'sresearch work focused on sampling the protein conformational space and exploring protein interactions. Richa utilized coevolving residue pairs and sequence and structure-based approaches to model protein interactions and identify novel activators, substrates, or regulators for p38α (MAPK).

Before their postdoctoral position, Richa pursued their PhD at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore from August 2008 to June 2015. Richa'sresearch involved computational design of protein-like sequences, remote homology detection, and understanding the relationship between protein structure and function using a network perspective.

Richa's career in bioinformatics began with their role as a project consultant at the National Institute of Immunology from August 2007 to July 2008. Here, they provided a bioinformatics perspective to various projects, including predicting phosphorylation sites in helicase proteins, predicting mitochondrial localization, and analyzing microarray data. Richa also gained hands-on experience in wet lab techniques such as DNA cloning, protein expression and purification, and kinase assays.

Additionally, Richa worked as a Project Trainee at IGIB for six months under Dr. B.K. This experience provided their with practical exposure to research projects.

Overall, Richa Mudgal, PhD has a strong background in bioinformatics and computational biology, with expertise in multi-omics data analysis, protein interactions, and protein design.

Richa Mudgal, PhD has an extensive education history in the field of computational biology. Richa obtained their Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Computational Biology from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) from 2008 to 2013. Earlier, they pursued a Master of Science (M.Sc) degree in Bioinformatics from Jamia Millia Islamia between 2005 and 2007. Richa'sBachelor's Degree in B.Sc.(Hons) Applied Zoology was obtained from Delhi University from 2002 to 2005.

In addition to their formal education, Richa has also pursued additional certifications to enhance their knowledge. Richa obtained a certification in Data Science Foundations: Fundamentals from LinkedIn in January 2018. Richa has also completed a course in Genomic and Precision Medicine from Coursera, although the specific details such as the month and year of completion are not provided.

Before their higher education, Richa completed their Senior Secondary School Examination and Secondary School Examination at Modern School, although the years of attendance are not specified in the information provided.
