• Preparation of pharmacogenomic target reports for pharma clients, which involved the following tasks.- Exhaustive analysis of the genomic level, transcript level and protein level data available for apharmacological target protein in published literature and databases.- Interpretation of the information retrieved from published studies, as well as analyses results ofdata from online databases.- Report writing aiming at a comprehensive compilation of the processed information and presentation in an understandable manner.- Based on the data interpretation and overall review, a write-up on the rationale for the targetabilityof the protein is added to the report- A variety of short-term client requirements involving microarray data analysis, as well as othergene-protein-pathway disease correlation analyses, have also been addressed to on a need basis.

• Interpretation of NGS-variant data and preparation of clinical genomics reports spanning various genetic testing panels such as, rare inherited disorders, cardiac disorders, eye disorders, whole exome, clinical exome, germline-inherited cancer and cancer-somatic profile for therapeutic actionability.• This involved variant prioritization and validation using the StrandNGS software, followed by interpretation based on Bioinformatics and published studies, and report writing.• Curation and review of information on genes, protein domains, variants, drugs and drug-targetsfrom published literature to generate a comprehensive database aiding interpretation and clinicalreporting.• Preparation of pharmacogenomic target reports for pharma clients to help assess, prioritise, and negate targets and thereby, minimize cost and time invested in experiments. This comprehensive report contains all the experimental evidence to support the target’s role in the disease process along with evidence that supports its druggability and safety.
