RESEARCH EXPERIENCE :
Currently, I'm working as a Research Volunteer at the Simon's lab at
Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, University of Maryland.
My work is related to studying the 3' translation enhancers in plus RNA
plant viruses.
LABORATORY SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES :
Molecular cloning, r-DNA technology, Gel electrophoresis, PCR, Protein
purification by extraction and precipitation, Column and paper
chromatography, Isolation of plant protoplasts, Plasmid isolation and
purification, RT-PCR, Cell culturing, general sterilization techniques,
Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting, Flow cytometry, Fluoroscent Acivated Cell
Sorting, Immunocytochemistry, Cell morphological analysis through
microscope, Paper chromatography, Cell viability by MTT assay and other
staining methods, blotting techniques.
PROJECTS :
Project Name: Isolation and Characterization of fetal hepatic stem cells
Description: Stem cells were isolated from the liver tissue of an aborted
fetus using Magnetic Activated
Cell Sorting and Flow cytometry. Enriched stem
cells were checked for liver specific
markers, CK18, CK19, Albumin and Alpha-feto protein
by immunocytochemistry and PCR
Location: Center for Liver Research and Diagnostics, Deccan Medical
College, India.
Mentor: Mr. Mohammad Alim Khan, Scientist
Project Name: Anticancer activity of Parthenium hysterophorus
Description : In this study, the effect of crude plant extract of
Parthenium hysterophorus was tested on
lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Cell morphological
analysis and cell viability tests were
performed at different time intervals, which
indicated that the plant possesses anticancer
activity.
Location: Pragathi Laboratoris, Hyderabad
Mentor: Prof. Prameela Devi, JNTU
Project Name: Cytotoxicity and growth effects of industrial effluents on
Allium sativum
Description: In this study, the effect of various concentrations of an
industrial effluent (25%, 50%,
75%,100%) was tested on the growth of Allium
sativum. The results indicated that the
increasing concentration of the effluent had a
direct effect on the growth.
Location: Pragathi Laboratories
Mentor: Prof. Prameela Devi, JNTU
Training : Was trained for 15 days in Microbiology, Instrumentation
and wet analysis laboratory
Location: Vetindia Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
