Hi there, I'm Shashank Kashyap! 👋

Bioinformatics | Computational Drug Discovery | Data Science

I am a Biotechnology Engineering graduate with a passion for decoding biological complexity using computational tools. My work bridges the gap between wet-lab biology and data science, focusing on Transcriptomics, Structure-based Drug Design, and Systems Biology.

2. 💊 In-Silico Drug Discovery (Neuroscience)

Project: Multi-Target Drug Design for Alzheimer’s Disease

  • Objective: Screened natural compounds to inhibit AChE and BACE1 enzymes and designed a hydrogel delivery system for BBB permeability.
  • Key Skills: Molecular Docking (AutoDock), ADMET Profiling (SwissADME), Protein Validation.
  • Outcome: Identified Withanolide A (-13.90 kcal/mol) as a high-affinity dual-inhibitor.

3. 🕸️ Systems Biology & Network Analysis (Virology)

Project: Host-Virus Interaction Network Analysis (SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza)

  • Objective: Developed a Python pipeline to map conserved host dependency factors and "Bridge Proteins" connecting viral interactomes.
  • Key Skills: Python, NetworkX, Graph Theory, Statistical Validation (Hypergeometric test).
  • Outcome: Discovered a hidden PI3K/AKT signaling hub connecting both viruses; prioritized TCF12 as a broad-spectrum antiviral target.

4. 🧠 Biomedical Signal Processing (Machine Learning)

Project: Motor Imagery EEG Signal Classification

  • Objective: Built a Machine Learning pipeline to classify left vs. right-hand movements from noisy EEG signals for BCI applications.
  • Key Skills: Signal Processing (FFT), Feature Engineering (Frequency Domain), Cubic KNN.
  • Outcome: Achieved 97.6% accuracy (Class 1) using a Cubic KNN classifier with Peak Frequency features.
