I am committed, reliable, a biomedical scientist with excellent hands-on experience in vaccine development, molecular immunology, and Hematopoietic stem cell biology. I am a driven scientist, motivated to develop creative research designs and protocols that provide answers to complex biological challenges. My area of research is mainly focused on developing the vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 and ZIKA virus using Yellow fever-17D backbone. Additionally, I am extensively involved in understanding the molecular events involved in viral associated B- cell transformation and elucidating the role of early transcription factors in B- cell maturation and in formation of B- cell malignancies during early hematopoietic stem cell maturation using cell culture and mouse model. I am a confident, excellent project manager playing an important role in several independent projects resulting in publication in high-impact journals such as Nature, Blood, Journal of Virology, PLOS Pathogen and Oncotarget, etc. In addition to managing projects, I am continuously involved in grant application writing, manuscript writing, reviewing and supervising Ph.D. students, project students, and technical staff. As an eager team player I can bring in the following analytical skills:vaccine design, cell culture, primary immune cell culture and isolation, cloning, WB, qRT PCR, ChIP Seq, multi-color flowcytometry, confocal and fluorescence imaging, IHF, IP, GST pull-down, virus infection studies, chemical synthesis of novel compounds.
