Hi! I'm Sahvir, a Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Virginia passionate about using quantitative and computational approaches to better understand biological systems. My work spans systems and synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and molecular modeling, in applications ranging from therapeutics to sustainable biotechnology.
I built this website to document and share my projects, research experiences, and ideas. Whether through mechanistic modeling, transcriptomics, or synthetic biology, I’m especially interested in how computational methods can be used to better understand, engineer, and predict complex biological behavior.
Leading a synthetic biology project focused on enhancing biohydrogen production through engineered biological systems.
Exploring RNA-deconvolution approaches to infer cell-cell signaling via bulk RNA-seq data.
Led a team developing a biological device-assisted methodology to enhance bio-H2 production via dark fermentation.
Identifying CD4+ epitopes to evaluate the potential to develop a pan-hantavirus vaccine to elicit broad-spectrum immunity to hantavirus as a means of availing a public health threat.
Identifying small molecule inhibitors of PCDH1 to serve as a competitive inhibitor of PCDH1-Andes orthohantavirus binding to contribute to developing a treatment.
I'm interested in research collaboration, discussing ideas, or just connecting. Feel free to reach out.
