Research Experience:

•

Joined as summer trainee for 2 months in CCMB, Hyderabad under the guidance of Dr. P.K.DE & worked on comparative studies on sex specific genes expressed in different laboratory rodents.In my short tenure of 2 months, a comparison of sexdifferentially expressed proteins in the lacrimal gland, submandibular gland, Harderian gland & urine of common rodent species were done using SDS-PAGE. Western Blot analysis was performed to check expression of similar proteins in other tissues. Basic molecular techniques were learned along with the ongoing work in the lab.

•

For past 1 year working as a project assistant in Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB), Kolkata under the guidance of Dr.A.K Giri .In the course of my work I have been focusing on the molecular mechanisms of Arsenic toxicity in individuals due to Arsenic contamination through drinking water. My work revolves round SNP analysis using conventional PCR-RFLP-sequencing techniques, expression levels of marker proteins using SDS-PAGE and Western Blot. Apart from this I have been actively engaged in fieldwork for sample collection, handling of plasma, sera and DNA samples.
