Neeladri Sen
Communications / Collaborations / Scientific Program Team MemberNeeladri Sen is a post-doc in the CATH lab in University College London (UCL) working with Prof. Christine Orengo working on functional site predictions in proteins. He received his PhD from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune working in the field of computational structural biology with the major focus on protein-protein and protein-small molecule interfaces. He is generally interested in computational structural biology – machine learning, protein structure modeling, molecular dynamics, docking. He joined the ISCB-SC Webinars in 2020, and is involved with the Communications, Collaborations and Scientific Program teams.

Sayane Shome
ISCBSC Webinars Co-chairSayane Shome is a Ph.D. student in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program at Iowa State University, USA under the guidance of Dr. Robert L. Jernigan. Her area of research interest lies in computational biophysics, genomics, and machine learning. Her association with ISCB-SC started in 2010 as a volunteer when she joined the core team of Regional Student Group-India. Later, she has served as a President for RSG-India for the term 2012-14 and has also been simultaneously involved in volunteering for Student Council-related activities since then including starting up the ISCB-Student Council webinar series program.
