Kumar Singh

Kumar Singh is an External employee in the Bioinformatics department at Wageningen University & Research. His research focuses on bioinformatics-driven approaches to understand biosynthetic gene clusters, genome assembly, and multi-omics integration in plants and microbes. He collaborates globally on projects like MIBiG, a repository for biosynthetic gene cluster data.

Key research interests include genomics, metabolomics, and computational biology, with a strong emphasis on applying bioinformatics tools to decode metabolic pathways and microbial diversity. He has contributed to over 8 peer-reviewed publications and 3 datasets, including genome assemblies of Danaus chrysippus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains.

His work bridges computational methods with biological applications, addressing challenges in data visualization for metabolomics and advancing community-driven genomic curation efforts.
