• Worked on research projects as PI, Co-I, Co-PI.
• Conducted PCR, DNA sequencing, and cell culture bio-assay regularly.
• Utilized expertise in microbiology, biochemistry, and hematology to help with the diagnosis of medical issues.
• Handled specimens according to laboratory protocols to maximize accuracy and precision of results.
• Wrote research papers, reports, reviews, and summaries regarding molecular biology, cell biology, clinical laboratory science.
• Provided qualified input and development support for student plans and study protocols carried out by students.
• Developed direct research activities independently including data collection, evaluation and analyses for a research. Assisted the Principal Investigator in the preparation of manuscripts and grant applications in my college.
• Prepared course syllabi and collaborated in writing modules for Dynamic Learning System
• Worked on research projects as PI, Co-I, Co-PI.
• Led a research team of more than two dozen of students on graduation projects and successfully met all key milestones.
• Utilized expertise in microbiology, biochemistry, and hematology to help with the diagnosis of medical issues.
• Handled specimens according to laboratory protocols to maximize accuracy and precision of results.
• Wrote research papers, reports, reviews, and summaries regarding molecular biology, cell biology, clinical laboratory science.
• Provided qualified input and development support for student plans and study protocols carried out by students.
• Conducted studies on bio-active molecules and metabolites and the role of each in drug development.
• Developed case report forms and conducted medical monitoring in partnership with hospitals and medical personnel.
• As a doctoral fellow I had been involved in the development of biomarkers and novel targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia. Where my gene of interest is IDH2 (R172K) and I tried to understand the role of Oncoprotein and a transcription factor involved in the signaling pathway of IDH.
• I had been involved in the novel detection method of newly discovered NADP-dependent mitochondrial IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in Acute myeloid leukemia patients through Sanger Sequencing and ASO-PCR- an easy, economic, and less time consuming technique.
• Got expertise in molecular and cellular bio-assay's techniques including cloning, cell culture, evaluation of protein stability and expression in-vitro, following treatment with available effective chemotherapeutic drugs used in leukemias.
• Have been involved in the immunological analysis through flow-cytometry, cell cycle, apoptosis, and cell differentiation in-vitro and in patient’s sample. I extensively worked on human bone marrow cells and immortalized cell lines.
• Maintain and characterize cancer cell lines viz NB4, U937, HL-60
• Perform cell treatment following existing SOPs. Cell culture: adherent and suspension, use automation to increase throughput of cell-based assays, Flow-cytometry (FACS), MTT Assay, cytotoxicity, Immunofluorescence, mycoplasma detection.
• Perform cellular mechanism of action studies
• Researching, developing and applying systems to develop molecular & cell biology-based assays
• All elements of experiments, including planning, execution, quantitative data analysis, and interpretation, are carried out with the intent of enhancing assay-related protocols and data analysis methodologies.
• Generated modified cell lines using transfection or viral transduction, then use flow cytometry to analyze cellular function.
• Designed and constructed by specific antibody screening assays using functional cell-based assays.
