Worked in Dr Haworth's lab on the project "Computational discovery of drug molecules" Major emphasis on the project is to distinguish between the DNA's and RNA's using the WATGEN software and also to develop a suitable algorithm for the same

• Worked with the product development team • Undertook a project on FEEDGUARDTM plus efficacy testing using AOM and OSI methods• Evaluated several of Novus products on a weekly basis for the dust index and particle size distribution• Worked in a team for the Manufacture of MINTREXTM using a Littleford reactor at the pilot plant stage to evaluate the process and reactor efficiency

Chiral synthesis of an amino acid using various organic reactions. The major focus of the stint was on the recovery of the three solvents used in the process and extraction of trace amount of ethanol from the mixtureDesigned an appropriate setup for the distillation using a packed bed column and also scaled up the whole process for efficient recovery at their Pilot plantACADEMIC PROJECTSTissue Engineering of the Skin- Dr Pin Wang
