Jun 2015
JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow
JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship provides an opportunity to conduct collaborative research for overseas researchers under the guidance of their hosts in universities in Japan. I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Kuroda Lab, Tokyo University of Agriculture & Technology, Japan from June 2015 - May 2017, Structural bioinformatics has been my primary research area. I have successfully published my (postdoctoral work) results in the Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design (PMID:28028736) and also presented my work at various International conferences.

2023 PCGC/CDDRC Fellow
The Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium (PCGC) & Cardiovascular Development Data Resource Center (CDDRC) Fellows Program [funded by NIH] provides early-career researchers (graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty, and others) the opportunity to receive funding to help support research on novel and innovative data science and data-focused research problems in Congenital Heart Disease. Since its creation in 2009, the PCGC has explored the genetic underpinnings of CHD and has accumulated the largest collection, to date, of data and DNA from patients with CHD (>13,000 probands enrolled). https://benchtobassinet.com/?page_id=2686
