Hi all š I'm Jimit, a bioinformatics undergrad at VIT (India), and some of you may recognize me from a couple of PRs I got merged into nf-core/modules (gatk4/haplotypecaller stub fixes, and the vcontact3 Docker/curl dependency fix).
I'm looking to get real-world experience ā research, internship, contract, volunteer, anything ā in bioinformatics/ML for genomics or drug discovery. Happy to work remote, flexible on hours around my degree, and honestly not fussed about pay for the right opportunity ā I care more about learning from a real team and contributing to something that matters.
Some of what I've built so far:
⢠GNN + XGBoost binding-affinity models on Davis (kinase DTI), benchmarked across seeds/generalization splits
⢠Multi-omics PAM50 subtype classifier (TCGA-BRCA, RNA-seq + mutation data)
⢠cfDNA methylation multi-cancer classifier (840 TCGA samples, macro AUC 0.92)
⢠Nextflow/DSL2, Docker, GATK4, HPC/SLURM
If anyone's short-staffed on a pipeline, needs an extra pair of hands on a genomics/ML project, or knows of something (paid or unpaid) that could use someone eager and reasonably competent ā I'd love to hear about it. GitHub:
github.com/JP-Bro, happy to share more or jump on a call.
Thanks for reading this far š
