I worked on the project titled "Evolution of endosymbiosis in prey - predator interactions". The project mainly involved investigating development of a endosymbiotic relationship between an amoeba and bacteria using experimental evolution. My roles and responsibilities were1. Using classical microbiology techniques to grow amoeba and bacteria. 2. Development of assays to test the relationship between the organisms. 3. Molecular biological techniques 4. Fluorescence microscopy… Show more I worked on the project titled "Evolution of endosymbiosis in prey - predator interactions".

I worked as a research Trainee in personal care and hygiene division. My work mainly involved around testing of products to develop a skin care product. I also worked across a microbiology laboratory of the Personal care division. My work primarily involved1. Culturing of keratin cells2. Testing different varieties of phytochemicals.3. Determining the safe dosage of the phytochemical on the Keratin cells using MTT assay.4. In my microbiology work, I performed classical… Show more I worked as a research Trainee in personal care and hygiene division.

In my microbiology work, I performed classical microbiology methods like media preparation, culturing of bacterial and fungi cells, serial dilution and CFU. 5. Testing efficacy of different feminine hygiene product on various bacteria. Show less

This project was a part of my M.Sc studies. I got an experience of being in a global laboratory amongst diverse people of different backgrounds. This was a microbiology project which involved phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of bacteriophages of Bacillus subtilis carrying rearrangements in its prophage elements. The skills I acquired were mainly,1. Classical microbiology techniques like plating, CFU, growing bacteria and extracting bacteriophage. 2. Classical Virology… Show more This project was a part of my M.Sc studies. I got an experience of being in a global laboratory amongst diverse people of different backgrounds.

I worked as a volunteer in a microbiology laboratory involving studies on UTI causing E. coli The aim of this study was to perform gene knockouts,population biology experiments in UTI causing Escherichia coli and observing their behaviour in comparison to the Wild type.
