Sreenu B. Vattipally MSc, PhD

Dr. Sreenu Vattipally is a computational biologist, working to understand the behavior and evolution of viruses by means of computational analysis. His passion is to develop new algorithms and theoretical models that help comprehend complex biological processes. His experience spans large-scale biological data exploration, the theory, and development of new algorithms, coding tailor-made programs, and building web-driven applications and databases.

Dr. Sreenu Vattipally's main focus of current research is the genome sequence analysis of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). He's currently working on high throughput HCV genome sequence data to understand its intra and extra host genome dynamics. As part of this work, He currently developing novel tools that will greatly improve next-generation sequence mapping as well as locating mutations that play a key role in host immune response and antiviral drug resistance. Additionally, He is also interested in understanding the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types and the spontaneous clearance of viral diseases.
