AI Bioinformatics Platform
S-BIOS
An AI-based bioinformatics platform for modern analysis of imaging-based data, including cell typing, gene expression prediction, and computational workflows around spatial and pathology data.
PhD Student | University of North Dakota
Samarth Singhal
I am a PhD student in Clinical and Translational Science program with a specialization in Bioinformatics at the University of North Dakota. My current work sits around computational biology, bioimaging, biomarkers, spatial biology, and omics-informed AI, computer vision, while my broader interests are in useful, reliable computational systems that connect research ideas with working software.
Before starting my PhD, I completed B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from Delhi Technological University and worked as a Software Development Engineer at Fareportal, where I built and maintained production systems including API features for travel products.
