Anushka Sinha

Anushka completed her undergraduate studies at UC San Diego, where she gained research experience at Scripps Research. She then pursued a Master’s in Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University, where her academic projects fostered a strong interest in leveraging artificial intelligence, particularly large language models (LLMs), for biological research. In the Brandes Lab she applies genomic AI models to identify causal genes affecting disease risk and seeks to train the next generation of genomic language models. In her free time, Anushka enjoys taking dance classes, working out, and trying different restaurants.
