Medha Bhagwat
received her PhD in biochemistry in December 1994 from the University of Maryland
at College Park. She did her postdoctoral training at NIDDK, NIH on the structure-function
studies of bacteriophage T4 RNase H and its interaction with other proteins at
the replication fork.
Medha joined NCBI in 1998 as part of the group which builds the GenBank database.
Since 2001, she is involved in a variety of bioinformatics training that NCBI offers.
She teaches at the NCBI Core-Bioinformatics Facility, which trains the representatives
from the NIH institutes in the use of the NCBI bioinformatics tools in 9-week sessions.
She is thus involved in coordinating a network of bioinformatics specialists
serving the individual NIH institutes. Medha also develops and teaches several
mini-courses (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/minicourses/)
which describe the effective usage of a set of bioinformatics tools for solving
a scientific problem.
Prior to pursuing the Ph.D. degree, Medha taught at a college affiliated with the
University of Bombay after receiving the master’s degree in biochemistry.
She also has received graduate level training in pedagogy (Diploma in Higher Education)
at the University of Bombay.
