Scientists

Eoin Fahy, PhD  is the Project Coordinator for the Metabolomics Workbench/National Metabolomics Data Repository and is an advisor for the LIPIDS MAPS project.

Shakti Gupta, PhD  is a Bioinformatics Programmer Analyst working in bioinformatic systems biology research.

Mano Maurya, PhD   is a Bioinformatics Programmer working on the development and applications of bioinformatics tools and resources.

Andrew Caldwell, PhD is a Senior Research Scientist specializing in systems biology approaches to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. His research uses iPSC-derived models and single-cell approaches to investigate how genetic risk factors and environmental exposures contribute to disease pathogenesis and altered neurodevelopment. Through multiomics integration and regulatory network analysis, he identifies convergent molecular endotypes across these diverse contexts. This bench-to-code philosophy, spanning experimental design through computational analysis, allows him to translate high-dimensional data into biological insights that can inform therapeutic strategies.

 Kavitha Mukund, PhD is a Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Researcher, currently focusing on utilizing systems approaches to understanding skeletal muscle pathophysiology. Kavitha’s past work includes gaining mechanistic insights into the effects of Botox treatment on muscle; high-throughput sequencing analysis of fibrosis mechanisms in muscle; network theoretic approaches to understanding a chronic muscle disorder- Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Her most recent work, focused on gaining a holistic view of functional and mechanistic similarities across 20 muscle diseases utilizing network theory and was published in Frontiers in physiology. Kavitha is currently working on utilizing high throughput genomics to understand scoliosis. Kavitha earned her BE in 2006 from Visvesvaraya Technological University, India and her MS in 2009 from Arizona State University and her PhD from University of California, San Diego in 2016.
