Esophageal cancer caused more than 15,000 deaths in US last year. It develops in certain individuals suggesting that

some people have susceptibility towards it. Understanding this is an important step in the cure of cancer.

Using molecular biology techniques identified the relationship between genetic polymorphisms in Glutathione S-

tranferase (GST) in esophageal cancer patients.

Experience with Molecular biology techniques such as DNA isolation from blood, paraffin sections and

cytological smears, Native Poly-acryl-amide gel Electrophoresis (PAGE), Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, Polymerase

Chain Reaction (PCR), Multiplex PCR, Restriction Fragement Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and Human

Cytogenetic techniques like chromosomal preparation by lymphocyte culture.

SKILLS

• Proficiently worked with lab scale fermenters for cell culture production.

• Carried out various quantitative and qualitative Immunological experiments and successfully completed Genetic Engineering

experiments like Competent Cell Preparation, Transformation, Blue white screening in Genetic Engineering lab.

• College level practical/lab experience in – Process Engineering, Fermentation Technology and Downstream Process,

Thermodynamics and Chemical Processes, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Thermodynamics and Chemical Processes, Animal

Tissue culture, Plant Tissue culture, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Immunology.

• Experience in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc.).

PRESENTATIONS

• New Horizons in Biotechnology-2011 November 2011

Presented a paper at an International Conference entitled “In vitro propagation of the medicinal plant Solanum

nigrum in liquid media and evaluation of its anti-oxidant property”.

EXPERIENCE

• Master’s Design Project (with Prof. Jonathan Black) September 2012- Present

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ) affect 35 million people in US. They are caused due to degeneration of TMJ

disc. There is no cure for the disease.

Developing a strategy for the biological replacement of TMJ Disc; using tissue culture techniques.

Analysis of past strategies and their mode of failure.

• Master’s Research Project July 2011- May 2012

B. monnieri is a medicinal plant which can cure neurodegenerative diseases. They are found in small quantities

naturally. There is a need to generate disease free plants in laboratory.

Generated B. monnieri plants from wild plants to be tested in in-vitro conditions in aseptic environment.

Developed an efficient protocol for in-vitro propagation of B. monnieri in solid and liquid culture.

Demonstrated a 110% biomass increase by utilizing permutation and combination of input factors, such as media

composition and bioprocess parameters.

• Bachelor’s Research Project July 2010 - May 2011

S. nigrum is a plant with antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, cytotoxic properties, antiulcerogenic, and hepatoprotective

activity. It can cure many diseases but it is found in small quantities in nature.

Generated S. nigrum plants from wild plants to be tested in in-vitro conditions in aseptic environment.

Improved the efficiency of shoot production and optimized the productivity of S. nigrum. Demonstrating 3-fold

multiplication rate and 60% increase in shoot elongation.

Conducted biochemical assays for characterization and quantification of compound.
