Dr. Pratiti Bhadra obtained her B.Tech degree in Information Technology at RCC Institute of information technology (WBUT) India in 2007. After graduation, she worked as an Associate System Engineer at IBM Pvt. Ltd, India (2007 -2008) and as Project Assistant at IISc (2008-2009). Subsequently, she pursued a PhD in computational biology from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), India (2009-2015) and worked as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Macau (2016-2018). In 2019, she joined Saarland University (UdS) as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Center for Bioinformatics. Her research interests involve computer simulations (molecular dynamics simulations, molecular docking, molecular modelling) of biomolecular processes to explain and predict the behavior of complex systems and the application of machine learning in drug discovery. She is also interested in applying graph theory in drug discovery, medical decision making, and bioinformatics.
