A multi-faceted researcher with applied project management and team leading skills. Currently working as Senior Research Scientist - Bioinformatics (Sr. Bioinformatician) at Norton Neuroscience Institute, and Assistant Professor (adjunct) at University of Louisville, KY and recently started as Research Health Scientist at Dept of Veteran Affairs. I have been involved in bioinformatics and computational biology research for more than 13+ years and have led the development of many key data resources and machine learning based analytical tools/algorithms that are now widely used around the world by the scientific community with a current total citation at 6000+ and an h-index of 20. Particularly, I have worked extensively on developing and curating several publicly available sources and ML/AI based analytical tools such as HMDB, DrugBank 5.0, and MiMeDB, CFM-ID and Bio transformer. My current research at the Norton Neuroscience Institute and collaborators at UofL, involves working on cutting-edge bioinformatics and computational biology research, particularly in the context of gut microbial dysbiosis and its association with Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Gautam is highly analytical with a strong acumen to align the research goal needs to meet Research & Business strategy of the organization.
