Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Akhilesh Kaushal is a Bioinformatics Scientist with expertise in statistical modeling, genomics, and epigenetics. His research focuses on integrative multi-omics analysis, including RNA-seq, methylation, chromatin accessibility, and single-cell data. Kaushal works on developing reproducible pipelines to advance translational research, with prior experience at UAMS, Emory, and Baylor. His scholarly work has resulted in an h-index of 14, with 71 publications and 728 citations.

Kaushal's research has explored the correlation between bone marrow tumor and immune cells with the durability of remissions following CAR T therapy in myeloma. He has also investigated aberrant B cells, immune dysfunction, and myeloid inflammation preceding Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Furthermore, his work has examined the association between DNA methylation at birth and childhood serum immunoglobulin E levels.

Recent publications include studies on transcriptional rewiring by enhancer methylation in pediatric acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, epigenetic drivers of DNMT3B in acute myeloid leukemia, and the hypermethylation landscape promoting HOXC cluster gene overexpression in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. He has also published on the DNA methylation enhancer landscape in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia. Kaushal collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Samrat Roy Choudhury, Pritam Biswas, Jason E. Farrar, and Kimberly Stephens.
