About 📝

Nikhil Nageshwar Inturi - Gen AI
Sr. Data Scientist and Bioinformatician at the Center for Advanced Pain Studies | Machine Learning in Biopharma R&D and Drug Discovery
As a Senior Data Scientist with over 7 years of experience, I specialize in building high-impact, AI-driven solutions for genomics, multi-omics integration, and biomarker discovery. My expertise spans the full data science lifecycle, from developing Advanced Machine Learning and Generative AI applications to deploying scalable, containerized workflows in cloud environments.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been captivated by two things: how machines work, and how information flows. That curiosity led me from building my first “Hello World!” in Java to leading three amazing teams at The University of Texas at Dallas, each tackling some of the most exciting challenges in Science and AI. I’ve had the privilege of working with several distinguished researchers, including Dr. Theodore J. Price, Dr. Diana F. Tavares, and Dr. Eric Christopher Meyers at UTD, as well as collaborating with multiple labs across the globe. Before coming to the U.S., I spent 4.5 years in India's tech industry. At Infosys Ltd., I worked in consulting and development, notably for BMW and the Infosys Research Unit. There, I honed my data science skills, developing enterprise applications and algorithms, and spearheading containerization efforts that dramatically improved deployment efficiency. Later, at Aganitha, I worked as a Full-Stack Data Scientist on AAV Capsid Engineering 🧬, setting up the midstream and downstream analysis. I developed clustering models aimed at identifying optimal golden templates and predicting effective 7-mer sequences for blood-brain barrier transduction 🧠.
If you’re passionate about the intersection of AI, NLP, and life-sciences or just want to geek out about transformers and the future of data-driven discovery, let’s connect!
