Data-Driven Reproductive Health

Dr. Abhishek Sengupta is working as an assistant professor at the Centre for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Noida, India. He completed his Ph.D. on the topic 'modelling and analysis of human energy metabolic network,' with a completely annotated model titled HEPNet: Human Energy Pool Network from Amity University, Noida, India. Dr. Sengupta is associated with a DBT-funded project on "AI in reproductive medicine" at the research lab located at the Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Noida, India. His lab focuses on projects employing multi-omics and machine learning approaches for reproductive health research. Some of the research projects from his lab are on the genital microbiome, endometrium transcriptomics, and viral/fungal infections with an emphasis on investigating, analyzing, and predicting pregnancy-related complications, recurrent implantation failure, IVF outcomes, STIs, and PCOS, as well as identify novel therapeutic targets and drugs. He has published many papers in peer-reviewed national and international journals.

Dr. Priyanka Narad is currently working as Scientist in Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi and previously worked as an assistant professor at the Centre for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Noida, India. She completed her Ph.D. in network biology and constructed a network of molecular complexities in various phases of human stem cells, with an emphasis on the induction and maintenance of human embryonic stem cells from Amity University, Noida, India. Dr. Narad along with Dr. Sengupta worked on a DBT-funded project on "AI in reproductive medicine" at the research lab located at the Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Noida, India.
