Silver Spring, Maryland, United States

I have been involved in a number short and long term projects at the Food and Drug Administration(FDA). I'm was involved in a project that was investigating the responses of neonatal and adult murine alveolar epithelial cells to ssRNA or dsRNA to mimic Sars-Cov2 induced innate cell activation through pattern recognition receptors TLR7/8, TLR3, and RIG-1 to.

Analyzed RNA sequence data to understand differential expression of genes between PPAR knockout and wild type mice. Was also involved in the extensive study of epigenetic factors involved in the adiposity.

Analyzed whole exome data to call variants. A number of tools were used analyze data using a number of tools such as GATK, FreeBayes etc. Perl was used to parse data. Lesion, non-lesion, and blood exome data was compared to discover single nucleotide variants.

A pipeline/tool to automate the process of phylogenetic tree generation for metagenomic data was developed. The tool, AutoPhy, is mainly written in Perl and can be used on the terminal. The pipeline uses tools such as MUSCLE and RAxML and has it's own unique suite of scripts. The pipeline can handle both proteomic and genomic sequences.

Siphoviral marker investigation: The Siphovirus genome and proteome was analysed to find markers, specifically for the taxa. This is because an ideal marker is still unknown and finding one would be very useful to have a better understanding of this specfic community. Further analysis was carried out using the AutoPhy. Helicase was found to be a possible.

Study of the effects of AloeVera juice on Head and Neck Cancer - Created and presented poster analyzing the effects of the juice on the said type of cancer; positive association was found; Conducted extensive statistical analysis on data, using RSkate proteome annotation - Annotated and submitted skate protein to SkateBase as part of a community annotation.

Bengaluru, India

Worked on annotating Zebrafish proteins with a focus on domains of unknown functions(DUF). This study involved looking into the function of the various domains which might not have been looked at due to little similarity with domains/proteins from the various databases.The internship was a part of my Bachelor's degree project, and through this I got a to.
