Rahul Arora

Bioinformatician

I did my masters in human genetics from UCL, London in 2016, where I worked on the genomics of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), investigating the shared genetic risk loci between the two diseases and correlating them with clinical data. Afterwards, I moved back to India and finished another masters’ in Bioinformatics, whereby, I was investigating the Immunoglobulin interactions with plant pathogenesis-related proteins, during which I gained expertise in protein modelling and molecular docking. In 2019, I joined the Francis Crick Institute as a research assistant where I worked on the iCLIP data analysis for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In 2020, I moved to the University of Cambridge for my PhD, where I worked on network biology of Alzheimer's disease, and integrating single nucleus transcriptomics with metagenomics in healthy ageing and Parkinson's disease, identifying key pathways affecting the gut-brain axis in physiological ageing and its relationship to PD.
