Atharva Bhagwat

Computational Researcher at Tsankov Lab

Hi! I'm currently exploring how cellular senescence impacts lung tissue using 10x Genomics Xenium spatial transcriptomics data, with the goal of uncovering key biological pathways that drive these processes.

Before academia, I was as a Machine Learning Engineer where I worked on anomaly detection and automation in textile industries.
