Subina P Mehta

Subina P Mehta is a Researcher at the University of Minnesota, specializing in Bioinformatics and Metaproteomics. Her work focuses on developing and implementing computational workflows within the Galaxy Bioinformatics Platform to analyze host-microbiome interactions in diseases like cystic fibrosis and pulmonary sarcoidosis.

• Education: MS in Molecular Biotechnology (University of Kansas Medical Center, 2013), BS in Bioinformatics (Padmashree Dr. D.Y. Patil University, 2009)

Her research spans Proteogenomics, Mass Spectrometry, and Microbiome Analysis, with a strong emphasis on UN Sustainable Development Goals related to public health. Recent projects include:

• Predictive models for beryllium sensitization and chronic beryllium disease
• Molecular characterization of progressive pulmonary sarcoidosis
• Comprehensive proteomic classifiers for pulmonary sarcoidosis (MoChaS)

Her publications highlight the application of Galaxy Platform in clinical metaproteomics and proteoform discovery, often in collaboration with institutions like National Jewish Health and The Ohio State University. She contributes to open science through datasets on Zenodo, including benchmarking tools for metaproteomics and clinical database workflows.
