About Saakshi Shamanth Donthi
Bioinformatician on a missionHey there! I’m Saakshi, a curious soul (kinda;) powered by and a passion for uncovering the secrets hidden in biological data. At Moderna, I get to explore the cutting-edge world of oncology, where science and engineering come together with purpose to drive life-changing therapies.Outside of work, you’ll find me volunteering at career events, strength training (working on that consistency ), and championing inclusion in science ‍. I truly believe meaningful science happens when bold ideas meet diverse and relentless voices.I also have an unapologetic love for Bollywood and K-pop, and thriller novels that keep me up way past bedtime.Mostly learning, always questioning 🤔, and always open to meaningful conversations! If you’re into bioinformatics, equity in science, or just want to chat genomics, let’s connect!
