Polypharmacy and Potentially Inappropriate Medication use in Geriatric Patients, June 2014
• It was a hospital based retrospective study, the main objective of our study was to assess the prevalence of Polypharmacy and inappropriate medication usage in geriatric population. CRISPR Design and Off-Target Analysis, Spring 2016
• Generated CRISPRs from the full Drosophila genome, then the generated CRISPRs were BLASTed against shared BLAST database of Drosophila genome. BLAST hit with 100% identity and alignment length 21 were used for GFF3 entry for that CRISPR. RNASeq, Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Expression Analysis, Fall 2016
• Assembled Transcriptome from RNA Seq illumine reads and identified differential express isoforms utilizing TRINITY pipeline and characterized proteins by blasting against SwissProt database. Designing a SQLite database in R, Spring 2017
• Designed a normalized (3NF) relational data model that has minimal redundancy for airplane bird strikes dataset. Using the design, SQLite database was created and data was retrieved using SQL select statements. Presentations
66th Indian Pharmaceutical Congress, presented a poster on polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication use in geriatric patients.
