Vinod Scaria is a clinician turned computational biologist.
His research spans the application of genomics and informatics
in clinical and biomedical settings. He is the co-founder of the
Genomics for Understanding Rare Disease: India Alliance
Network (GUaRDIAN), which is one of the largest networks
of clinicians and researchers in India working on rare genetic
diseases. He has been part of collaborative genomics projects
aimed at understanding the Indian and Asian Genome diversity.
He has also been part of the early whole genome sequencing
population genomics projects including the Indian, Sri-Lankan and
Malaysian genome projects and is a member of the HUGO
Pan-Asian Population Genomics Initiative (HUGO-PAPGI) taskforce. His work has unraveled the early insights into genetic disease
and pharmacogenetic and genetic disease epidemiology in the
Middle East from population genomes. He has also established one
of the earliest fellowship and education programmes in genomics for
clinicians in India.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen his lab pioneer genetic
epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in India. His lab today hosts the major
resources enabling genetic epidemiology as well as functional
interpretation of genomes and genetic variations. He spearheaded
the initial state-level genomic surveillance programmes in India. His
research has also contributed to the earliest reports and significant
understanding on immune escape variants in COVID-19 reinfections
and vaccine breakthrough infections. He is well cited in national and
international press for his insights in the area of COVID-19 genomics
and genetic epidemiology.
Vinod did his undergraduate medical education from Calicut
Medical College, University of Calicut and PhD in Computational
biology from University of Pune. Vinod has over 200 research
publications in international peer-reviewed journals and twobooks to his credit. He has also been on the editorial board of
a number of journals including Frontiers in Systems Biology, PLoS
ONE, , Journal of Orthopaedics (Elsevier) PeerJ , Translational
Genomics and International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases
(Wiley).
He is the recipient of the CSIR Young Scientist Award for
Biological Sciences in 2012, Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow
of the US National Academy of Sciences in 2015 and is an
elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (2017) and the Royal
Society of Public Health (2022).
