Number-cruncher is key to life sciences research success Vinodh Srinivasasainagendra isn’t your average statistician. Number crunching is a key part of his job as a statistician and bio-informatician within the Section of Statistical Genetics (SSG) in the Department of Biostatistics. But he’s also involved in life-science laboratories because of the nature of the department’s research in genetics and genomics. “This is very much a unique position,” he says. “I don’t just crunch numbers on a daily basis. I get to talk with members of other sections and collaborate with other departments within UAB, and we’re working to solve health-related problems.” Vinodh’s extraordinary programming skills, creativity and his ability to conceive, coordinate and resolve high-level computational problems within a team environment all distinguish him as a worthy selection for November’s Employee of the Month.   More from the Reporter...
