Indika Kahanda works at the intersection of bioinformatics and computational text/data analysis, applying machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to problems such as predicting genetic and genomic patterns (e.g., chromatin accessibility, gene-function prediction), detecting health-related misinformation on social media, and improving biomedical information retrieval and automated grading systems. Much of the recent work focuses on using LLMs for tasks like sentiment analysis, misinformation detection in nutrition, and automated coding of medical records, alongside continued genomics-related predictive modeling.
