Prof. Sarath Chandra Janga obtained his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Bio-chemical Engineering and Biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. He obtained his PhD in Molecular and Systems Biology from the prestigious MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology & Darwin college, University of Cambridge, UK from 2008-2010, on employing computational and graph-theoretical approaches to studying problems in molecular and cellular biology. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biohealth Informatics, School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI with joint appointments in the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics as well as Division of Gastroenterolgy/Hepatolgy in the Department of Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He has published more than 50 research publications on various aspects of basic and applied translational research in the fields of computational, molecular and systems biology.

Early in his career, he has been the founding member and vice chair of the student body of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). He has been invited for more than 70 international seminars and lectures for his work in understanding gene regulatory networks using computational and systems approaches. His group’s current research interests include understanding the structure and dynamics of post-transcriptional and post-translational gene control at a whole-genome level. In addition, his group is actively exploiting next generation clinical sequencing data to mine genetic alterations in diseases and their impact on human health using integrated computational data mining and systems biology techniques to uncover the principles and causes of specific phenotypes.
