Here is my LinkedIn profile, welcome! I work as a research associate at ICMR-NICED Kolkata, India. I am a molecular biologist with a PhD from IIT Kharagpur and four years of postdoctoral experience from the University of Texas Medical Branch, USA. My professional life has been devoted to researching the underlying and molecular causes of numerous debilitating diseases and helping to translate those discoveries into beneficial treatments for people.My areas of expertise include conducting independent research plans in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, and cellular biology; creating creative technical skills to carry out the research plan; analyzing data and documenting research findings; extending scientific theories into real-world applications; writing grants and manuscripts; and disseminating scientific endeavors for the advancement of knowledge. My vast experience and technical knowledge allowed me to lead a multicultural team in the creation of operating procedures for new product development and organizational expansion.The skills that I know well: Molecular Biology: Routine molecular techniques applied to mammalian systems (human/mice cell lines and tissues), plants, bacteria, drosophila, and yeast. rDNA technology (DNA, RNA isolation, cloning, PCR, cDNA preparation, etc.). Realtime qPCR, long amplicon PCR. siRNA mediated gene knockdown. Nanoparticle mediated plant growth modulation and gene expression. Radioactive-based hybridization assays (Southern, Northern blot).Protein biochemistry: Recombinant protein expression in bacteria, SDS- PAGE, Western blotting, Protein purification using Ni-NTA column. Biochemical assay development (ELISA, LDH assay, different colorimetric assay, etc). Protein-protein (immunoprecipitation), and protein-DNA interaction (ChIP/ChIP-Re-ChIP) study. Cell biology: Culturing human and mouse cell lines, plant tissue culture, transgenic plant development. Transfection/transformation. Cellular localization studies (immuno-staining, GFP, gusA expression study).Bioinformatics tools like NCBI, BLAST, primer designing, Uniprot, MS-Excel, etc.#Molecular Biology #Biochemistry #ProteinPurification #ResearchAndDevelopment
