Gaurav Ahuja graduated summa cum laude from the University of Cologne, Germany with Ph.D. in Natural Sciences. He is a molecular biologist by training and possesses a vast experience in functional genomics, especially in dissecting complex biological mechanisms using genome-editing and next generation sequencing-based techniques. After the completion of his Ph.D. degree, he worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow at several renowned institutes, including Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne, Max Planck Institute for Ageing and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Singapore.

Dr. G. P. S. Raghava received his M.Tech from IIT Delhi and PhD from Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh. He worked as Postdoctoral fellow at Oxford University UK (1996-98), Bioinformatics specialist at UAMS, USA (2002-3 & 2006) and visiting professor at POSTECH, South Korea (2004). He worked as scientist for 30 years (1986-2016) in Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh. His group developed more than 250 web servers, 200 research papers, 80 Copyrights/patents, 35 databases and mirror sites.

Dr. Debika Banerjee obtained Ph.D. in Mathematics from Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad in 2017 and M.Sc. in Mathematics from IIT Kanpur in 2011. Prior to joining IIIT-Delhi, she was a National Post Doctoral Fellow (NPDF) at IISER Pune from 2017 to 2019. She worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow at Technion, Israel from 2016 to 2017.

Debarka is an Professor of Computational Biology and Computer Science at IIIT-Delhi. He is also an honorary Associate Professor at the Queensland University of Technology-Brisbane. Debarka carried out his doctoral and post-doctoral research in the Machine Intelligence Unit of the Indian Statistical Institute and Genome Institute of Singapore, respectively. His group has been among the first to introduce big data algorithms in the field of single-cell genomics. He received INSPIRE faculty Award in 2015 by the Government of India.

Debajyoti Bera is currently an Associate Professor in IIIT-Delhi. He received Ph.D. in Computer Science from Boston University in 2010, and B.Tech. in Computer Sc. and Engg. from IIT-Kanpur in 2002. He is currently involved in active research on topics in quantum complexity, graph algorithms and privacy issues in online services. His usual areas of research interest spans quantum computing, algorithms, theoretical aspects of security and privacy and algorithmic challenges in other domains like database, networking, etc.

Dr. Arjun Ray is a computational structural biologist and earned his Ph.D. degree from CSIR-IGIB. His formal education in the field of chemistry and biophysics led him to be interested in understanding how biological processes are carried out by three-dimensional interactions. His previous researches include developing methods and tools in the field of structure prediction and force distributed analysis of lipids, deciphering mechanistic understanding of interactions between various biological molecules and working with multi-scale systems.
