Sriram Chandrasekaran Ph.D. Student (1st year) Dept. Biophysics B. Tech Biotechnology, Anna University, 2008 chandra6@illinois.edu

Research Interests: My current research focuses on reverse engineering and modeling cellular networks. I am coming up with new strategies for network inference and integrating it with metabolism in cancer and in the brain. Other projects include identifying candidate blood markers for brain cancer and studying criticality in biological systems. Outside the Lab: Outside the lab, I spend time playing cricket and racquet ball. I love trekking and have a penchant for outdoor photography. I sometimes help in organizing events for ASHA ( a charity organization) and I also work for the IBS ( Illinois Biophysics Society) newsletter.
