Sohini Ramachandran joined the faculty of Brown University in July 2010, after spending three years as a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Professor John Wakeley’s group at the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. She completed her PhD in 2007 with Professor Marcus Feldman at Stanford University’s Department of Biological Sciences. Her research has been funded by the US National Institutes of Health, a National Science Foundation CAREER award, as a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences, and as an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow. In 2019, Sohini was a Natural Sciences Programme Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in Uppsala, Sweden, and was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering (nominated by the NIH).
At Brown University, Sohini serves as Director of the Center for Computational Molecular Biology, and oversees an NIH-funded Predoctoral Training Program in Biological Data Science along with three colleagues from CCMB and the Data Science Initiative. She was also named a Henry Merritt Wriston Fellow in 2016. Sohini was drawn to Brown’s faculty in part due to the University’s commitment to mentoring young researchers: Sohini’s own scientific career began as a high school researcher, winning fourth place nationally in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search.
