Bhavin Khatri

Bhavin S. Khatri is a Research Fellow in Statistical Genomics at the Department of Life Sciences (Silwood Park), Imperial College London, within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. He is also affiliated with the Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet, Silwood Park Campus, and serves as a Visiting Scientist at The Francis Crick Institute. His research focuses on evolutionary theory, biophysical genotype-phenotype maps, virus evolution, and the application of statistical physics principles to biological systems.

Khatri’s work integrates theoretical models with experimental data to explore evolutionary dynamics, including studies on gene-drive systems, antibiotic resistance, and the role of population size in speciation. Notable contributions include stochastic theories for phenotype evolution and methods to analyze longitudinal viral sequencing data. His interdisciplinary approach spans genetics, biophysics, and computational biology, addressing challenges such as emergent phenomena in evolution and chromatin dynamics in fission yeast.

His research outputs span topics like genotype-phenotype mapping, viral evolution, and chromatin organization. While no specific scientific awards are listed, his publications reflect significant contributions to evolutionary and biophysical research. Khatri’s affiliations and collaborative work highlight his role in bridging theoretical and experimental biology.
