My name is Sidhant Puntambekar. I am currently a bioinformatics analyst at Bionano Genomics in San Diego, California. During Spring 2023, I completed my undergraduate Computer Science degree with minors in Computational Biology and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder. My personal research interests lie at the intersection of utilizing computational methods to streamline biological data analysis. During summer 2022, I interned at Exact Sciences in Boston helping to streamline and develop their multiple cancer early detection (MCED) program as a computational biology and data science intern. Previously, I worked as a research intern at Harvard Medical School in the computational genomics lab of Dr. Shamil Sunyaev. Further in the past, I was also a bioinformatics undergraduate researcher at the RNA Bioscience Initiative Informatics Fellows Group under Dr. Jay Hesselberth at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School. Other programming interests of mine include object oriented programming, robotics, and full stack development. I was also a part of the HackCU (University of Colorado Boulder Hackathon) Software and Technology Team, serving as its director.
