• Conducted a research study to determine modulatory effects of coffee consumption on salivary protein concentration, flow rate and salivary acetylcholinesterase activity
• Performed bioinformatics screening, using iGEMDOCK, to identify active compounds present in coffee and their respective binding energies towards acetylcholinesterase
• Collected saliva samples and case report forms (CRFs) from volunteers
• Performed biochemical analysis of saliva using ELISA to analyse increase in salivary protein concentration and decrease in salivary acetylcholinesterase activity

• Conducted a research to study the effects of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and ascorbic acid in preventing toxic effects of heavy metal, mercury on germination of Sorghum bicolor
• Prepared solutions for sterilisation and germination of Sorghum bicolor under various concentrations of mesoporous silica nanoparticles, ascorbic acid and mercury
• Documented the change in measurements of germination rate and germination index of the seeds and dry weight, fresh weight, total length and vigor index of the plant
• Statistically analysed the data using Microsoft Excel

• Conducted a research study to perform molecular cascade screening of families with coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypercholesterolemia in South India
• Study involved collection of saliva samples from patients; collection of their family history (CRF’s), collation of the data and performing pedigree analysis for genetic counselling
• Performed DNA extraction from saliva samples using QIAamp DNA Blood Mini kit (Qiagen kit)
• Performed PCR Amplification of DNA fragment containing LDLR gene
• Performed PCR High Resolution Melting Analysis to identify amplicon showing shift in the melting pattern. Each amplicon showing mutation was sequenced to identify the variation
