ABOUT SAURAV BHASKAR SAHA
I am a Senior Scientist (Bioinformatics) specialising in Target Identification and computational drug discovery. I helped establish and grow the Bioinformatics capability at Sygnature Discovery, shaping strategy, mentoring junior scientists, and contributing to early team‑building efforts that strengthened internal expertise.I work at the intersection of biology, cheminformatics, data science, and AI, collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams across oncology, neuroscience, metabolic disease, and infectious disease programs. My focus is on building explainable, human‑in‑the‑loop pipelines that drive confident and efficient target prioritisation.Before industry, I led academic research in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), developing globally used tools and databases—including uCARE (featured on Wikipedia) and uCAREChemSuiteCLI (15k+ downloads)—along with a decade of mentoring UG/PG research students, leading projects, and publishing internationally.Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and invited expert at the European Commission JRC Workshop on AMR Databases, I’m passionate about developing high‑impact computational solutions and building strong, collaborative scientific teams.
