About
Dr Tarang Mehta is a Lecturer in Bioinformatics. His research broadly explores the genetic underpinnings of vertebrate adaptive traits and disease response, with an outlook towards preserving organismal health and biodiversity. Since much of his work utilises multi-omics data to characterise genetic diversity and identify markers of economically important traits, he also focuses on developing novel omics and algorithmic approaches for analysing complex genomes. Tarang completed his PhD at the National University of Singapore, studying vertebrate genome evolution, and then postdoctoral work at the Earlham Institute focused on characterising gene regulatory networks associated with adaptive traits.
