Completed a 6 MONTHS PROJECT on “Antibiotic profile and Molecular detection of Fluroquinolone resistance in Salmonella spp isolated from Blood in a tertiary care hospital in Chennai” from 05/12/2012 to 03/06/2013 in the Department of Microbiology, under the guidance of Dr. Anusha Rohit Head of the Department, The Madras Medical Mission Hospital, Mogapair, Chennai.
I have received “CENT PERCENT ATTENDANCE (2009-2010)” from VIT University. WORK EXPERIENCE
Worked as a “Assistant Manager” from 08th July 2013 to 29th December 2014 in OMICS Group, SEZ Unit, Building No: 20, Floor No: 9, Unit in M/S. Sundew Properties Pvt. Limited, Raheja IT Park, Mindspace, Madhapur, Hyderabad – 500081
Got promoted to Team Lead (M1) position (May 2014), Recognized as an outstanding performer for the year 2013-2014, 17 months of work experience PAPERS PUBLISHED
1. “Economy Perspective of Biofuel - A Comprehensive Review”. Kshitija Iyer, Mythili.S and Sathiavelu.A. IJBST (2011), 4(8):50-66
This review focuses on cost effective technologies and the processes to convert biomass into useful liquid biofuels and bioproducts.
2. “Micro Algae – A Review on Its Commercial Potential”. Kshitija Iyer, Poonam Prasad, Mythili.S and Sathiavelu.A. IJLST (2011), 4(4):19-30
This review focuses on the use of microalgae as sources of valuable chemicals, which is established and the next few years should see a continued expansion of the range of commercially available microalgal products.
3. “Microbial BioRemediation – A Review”. Kshitija Iyer, Gajalakshmi S., Mythili S. and Sathiavelu A. IJBSAT (2012), 4(2):4-13
The review is about the current investigation going on ways to augment contaminated sites with non-native microbes including genetically engineered microorganisms especially suited to degrade the contaminants of concern at particular sites. 4. “Depression – A Review”, Iyer K. and Khan Z.A., Res. J. Recent Sci., 1(4), 79-87 (2012) The review is based on the search for an extended understanding of the causes of depression, and for the development of additional effective treatments which is highly significant. 5. Kumar A, Iyer K, Shanthi V, Ramanathan K (2014) Extraction of BioactiveCompounds from Millingtonia hortensis for the Treatment of Dapsone Resistance in Leprosy. J Microb Biochem Technol R1:006
Subsequently, the components were identified by means of GC-MS techniques. Moreover, molecular docking techniques were employed to determine the antibacterial activity of these compounds particularly against Mycobacterium leprae. 6. Kumar A, Gupta R, Verma K, Iyer K, Shanthi V, et al. (2014) Identification of Novel Hepatitis C Virus NS3-4A Protease Inhibitors by Virtual Screening Approach. J Microb Biochem Technol R1: 005
In this study, we investigated the potent lead compound(s) based on similarity search using the most potent proved protease inhibitor, MK-5172.
7. Iyer M, Iyer K (2014) Piezo-Electric Method of Electricity Generation (Orbis Electricity Generation). J Electr Electron Syst 3: R1-001.
This paper discusses the use of piezoelectric method to generate electricity. This includes the basic theoretical modelling of the electrical power generation mechanisms and optimization of the piezo-host system. It is shown that with proper configuration, a single piezo-electric crystal can generate enough electrical density that can be stored in an Orbis Electricity Generator for later usage.
8. Iyer K (2014) Pathology: A Review. Biochem Physiol 3:R1001. We cannot use the results of modern methods of diagnosis; we have no theoretical base - the modern theory of disease. It formed a large distance (gap) between the possibilities of the use of modern methods of research and its real application in the diagnosis of metabolic pandemics. 9. Iyer K, Pola S (2014) Probable Bioweapon: Influenza Type A Virus – A Short Case Report.. J Bioterror Biodef 5: R1001.
Influenza type A virus (Influenza virus A), an old foe of mankind, is presently the most significant pathogen causing both pandemics and epizootics, worldwide. The proliferative husbandry of poultry and pigs, primarily, constitutes a key factor in ongoing generation of pandemic and pre-pandemic strains, which is fueled by remarkable wild aquatic bird permissiveness of the virus. Those attributes are here thoroughly inquired into, so as to profile and rate threat and usability.
10. Iyer K (2014) Tritrichomonas foetus in Beef Bulls. J Veterinar Sci Technol 5: 194. Tritrichomonas foetus is a production and regulatory concern for beef producers in the Western United States and more recently in states of the Mississippi Valley. Traditionally preputial scrapings have been collected, cultured in enriched media, and examined microscopically. PCR techniques are now being used extensively to confirm culture results or as a stand-alone test for the organism. This technology offers the advantage of distinguishing the pathogenic Tritrichomonas foetus organism from other nonpathogenic fecal organisms. 11. Gaur K, Iyer K, Pola S, Gupta R, Gadipelli AK, et al. (2014) The Clostridium perfringens Epsilon Toxin as a Bioterrorism Weapon. J Microb Biochem Technol S8:009. The Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin made by the microorganism true bacteria could be a doubtless fatal bioterrorism weapon.
12. Swaminathan D, Iyer K (2014) Communicative Skills: Need of the Day. Arts Social Sci J 6: 88. To keep pace with the changing learners needs resulting from social, cultural, psychological and environmental changes happening around the world as a teacher we get ample opportunities to train our students in their individual skill areas. 13. Gola V, Gaur K, Juneja J, Gupta R, Iyer K (2014) Apoptosis is a Major Pathogenic Event for Several Important Viral and Bacterial Pathogens. J Microb Biochem Technol R1: 007. During this abstract, we tend to examine the proof establishing this unhealthful commonality and discuss potential implications that this shared feature would possibly suggest for therapeutic intervention.
