of microorganisms.

Professional Experience

Role: Safety Processing Expert [Intern] at Novartis Healthcare Pvt Ltd.

Department: Pharmacovigilence Operations, DS&E

Job Profile: Performed initial checks, database search to prevent duplicate entries of the received

information on adverse events, created case file and initialized drug safety reports in the DS&E tracking

tool and/or safety database Argus.

• Ensured scientific rigor through accurate, complete and consistent data entry of adverse event reports

from source documents with emphasis on timeliness and quality. Evaluated and finish processing of non-

expeditable AE reports, including review for completeness and accuracy.

• Used medical dictionaries and business guidances to code medical history, drugs and adverse event

terms. Prepared narratives summarizing the essential details of the case.

• Identified clinically relevant information missing from case report and facilitate its collection (in

consultation with medical staff as required) by preparing follow-up request as needed.

• Worked with Novartis clinical Safety Scientists and pharmacovigilance leaders to ensure that reports are

accurately collected evaluated and data based.

• Assisted with related administrative and procedural activities as required or requested. Assisted in the

training of other Safety Processing Experts as necessary.

• Supported DS&E projects or database validation activities as required. Tracked cases coming into our

therapeutic area. Distributed cases depending on priority.

• Handled queries from the CPOs, CSS, TLs and GL. Handled requests of corrections and to check if it’s

done.

Project Details

Project Name: Production of alcohol from molasses and effect of silage on environment

Duration : 3 months

Client : A.P.MET.ENGG.LTD Under supervision of K.venkata Rao.

Workshop

Participated in workshop at Ventura labs on “PCR, Protein Purification, Gene Cloning & Expression

PCR (polymerase chain reaction): PCR is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single

or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of

copies of a particular DNA sequence.

Protein Purification: One of the most common methods for protein purification is dialysis. The method of

dialysis makes use of semi-permeable membranes the main feature of this membrane is that it is porous.

However, the pore size is such that while small salt ions can freely pass through the membrane, larger

protein molecules cannot (i.e. they are retained). Dialysis proceeds by placing a high salt sample in

dialysis tubing (i.e. the dialysis "bag") and putting it into the desired low salt buffer.

Gene Cloning & Expression: Gene cloning is defined as isolation and amplification of selected pieces of

DNA by recombinant DNA techniques in a vector.
