Title: How calmodulin regulates water channels in mammalian eye lens Centre: Portland State University

Duration: 6 months

Description: Initiated the research on purification and characterization of membrane protein. Optimized the extraction of total proteins from the sheep eyes and planned protein purification experiments by AKTA-FPLC. Developed a multi-step chromatographic procedure involving HIC, HA, IEC, SEC for protein purification. Analyzed purified protein samples by SDS-PAGE, processed them for mass spectrometry analysis. Designed primers for PCR and Tina Ganguly, Curriculum vitae acxi4d@r.postjobfree.com Page 2 of 2 performed site directed mutagenesis. Purified recombinant protein using Ni-NTA metal affinity resin and gel filtration chromatography.

Tools & Technology: AKTA-FPLC, SDS PAGE, PCR, site directed mutagenesis Title: Technology transfer of occupational exposure limit (OEL) of Isosorbide 5-mononitrate (ISMN) by reverse phase HPLC (RP HPLC)

Centre: Astra Zeneca Pharma India Limited

Duration: September ’06 - June ’07

Description: Technology transfer of validated analytical procedure is done for calculating the mass of ISMN collected onto specific sampling media using occupational hygiene sampling techniques by RP-HPLC. This method has been developed and validated based on OEL of 0.05 mg/m3, 8 hours TWA (Time Weighted Average) using IOM

(Institute of Occupational Medicine) air sampling unit @ 2 litres/minute for a period of 8 hours per filter. Tools & Technology: RP HPLC, IOM Air-Sampling Units Title: Determination of Fluconazole in Human Plasma Centre: Annamalai University

Duration: June - August ’06

Description: A sensitive and specific method using UV detector is developed for the determination of Fluconazole in human plasma. The method is linear and correlation obtained is more than 0.998. The proposed method is applied successfully to the pharmacokinetic studies of the drug to measure plasma drug levels. Tools & Technology: RP HPLC, ultracentrifuge
