SKILL EXPERIENCE: Have done a project described below during one of my courses, which included all these steps( as per my professor DR. Scott following was the purpose of the project):

To clone a mammalian gene and express it

Isolate, purify, and identify a specific DNA

Manipulate the genomic structure of a specific mammalian gene

Transform prokaryotes and eukaryotic organisms

Express, isolate, and identify specific proteins.

• Have also cultured Vero cell line in another course work during my academic years.

• Have also done couple of more experiments in other courses which gave me experience of various skill sets like SDS-PAGE, Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, PCR, primer designing, florescence and phase contrast microscopy, restriction digestion, plasmid isolation, bacterial and yeast transformation, and various staining procedures, etc.

COMPUTER EXPERIENCE:

Have experience making graphs for obtained results from the experiments

Have made my original figure on the topic:

Secretory Pathway of newly synthesized Antitrypsin Peptide(A1pim).

COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS:

Application software:

• Microsoft Office (EXCEL, POWERPOINT, WORD)

• Operating Systems : Windows 95/98/97NT, Dos
