Expertise
Mudita Singhal
Dr. Singhal is a research scientist in the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Group at at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). She has expertise in the areas of bioinformatics software development, visual analytics, and data mining. She is the principal investigator on a PNNL Laboratory Directed Research and Development project on protein-protein interactions prediction. Her current research focuses on biological data integration and data mining to understand protein interaction networks and development of visual paradigms for real time data. She has contributed significantly to several publicly available bioinformatics tools, including the Complex Pathway Simulator (COPASI), Bioinformatics Resource Manager (BRM), the Peptide Permutation and Protein Prediction (PQuad), and the Collective Analysis of Biological Interaction Networks (CABIN) softwares as well as prediction algorithms such as DomainGA.
Dr. Singhal has more than six years of experience working in interdisciplinary teams facilitating biological research and has authored and co-authored more than 15 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers.
