Prof. Sanket Bapat received the bachelor's degree in Biotechnology and the master's degree in Bioinformatics from the University of Mumbai. He worked as a project fellow in Haffkines Institute of Training, testing and Reseach, Mumbai where he worked on identifying target proteins in Swine Flu.
He later completed his Ph.D. from the premiere CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory and the Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Institute, Pune. The focus of the Ph.D. work was to have a complete study of protein-protein interactions in cancer using machine learning techniques and develop a robust classification and regression model. The pathway modeling approach was used to successfully analyze the conformational changes in the PPI and compute energy-profiles by studying it at a system level. His Ph.D. work won awards in International Conferences.
His research interests include Machine learning, Structural bioinformatics, Molecular dynamics, Cheminformatics, Proteomics, and Genomics studies. Along with knowledge of statistical and biochemical techniques, he has also published several research papers in peer-reviewed journals and written a book chapter to his credit. Apart from research, he has a strong background in academic and institutional teaching experience.
