Ramneet Kaur is a computational biologist and biotechnologist with strong interdisciplinary expertise spanning molecular biology, multi-omics data analysis, bioinformatics, and experimental life sciences. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at Chandigarh University, where her research integrates computational and experimental approaches to understand disease-associated genetic and molecular mechanisms.
She holds a Master’s degree in Biotechnology, graduating as a University Topper, and has a solid academic foundation built through hands-on research in genomics, cancer-associated polymorphisms, and molecular diagnostics. Her master’s thesis focused on developing computational strategies to identify clinically significant polymorphisms in RAD51 and its paralog genes, highlighting her early specialization in genetic variation analysis and disease association studies.
Ramneet’s research interests lie at the intersection of computational biology and systems-level biomedical research. She has extensive experience in multi-omics integration, including transcriptomics, metagenomics, and metabolomics, to uncover gene–metabolite interactions, microbial signatures, and pathway-level dysregulation in complex diseases. She is proficient in advanced bioinformatics platforms and databases such as GEO, MGnify, KEGG, STRING, Cytoscape, MetaboAnalyst, ClinVar, dbSNP, and cBioPortal, and actively applies network biology, pathway enrichment, and structural biology tools to derive biologically meaningful insights.
Her computational expertise is complemented by strong skills in structural modeling and molecular docking, with hands-on experience using AlphaFold, AutoDock, ChimeraX, and related visualization tools. During her training at the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI), she worked on predicting cross-kingdom protein interactions at the plant–pathogen interface, strengthening her ability to apply AI-driven structural biology to real-world biological problems.
Alongside research, Ramneet has served as an Assistant Professor of Biotechnology, where she taught Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Animal and Plant Biotechnology, and mentored students in both theoretical and laboratory settings. She has actively contributed to academic development through workshop organization, student training programs, and interdisciplinary skill-building initiatives, reflecting her commitment to education and scientific mentorship.
