Zibiah Kitur Email and Phone Number
Hi, I’m Zibiah Kitur. I am passionate about translational science that enhances human health and wellbeing. I seek out opportunities that combine basic research to clinical research and domains in between. I know health and wellbeing in our society is everyone’s pursuit, but I help through my expertise to impact life directly. As a translational science researcher with demonstrated history of working in a cancer and nanomedicine research center, my routine month would involve studying and analysing the biomakers of specific cancer, extraction of natural products, green synthesis of nanoparticles, planting and maintaining cell cultures and preclinical testing of natural products as well as the synthesized metal nanoparticles on cancer cell lines. Through my experience, I have managed to contribute to ongoing research in cancer therapy and nanotherapy. After my first degree in Food Science & Technology, I took preference to MSc. Biotechnology, especially in the area of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Immunology, Applied Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Biology. This led to my acquisition of knowledge and further training in Trends in Molecular Medicine, Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies: principle & application, Hospital Infection Prevention & Control and Cancer Awareness & Therapy. My interest in health related research has been made possible by adaptability and being able to operate at intersections. When I am not busy reading scientific journals, writing or carrying out lab experiments, you would find me promoting STEM, volunteering for educational self-help cause (passionate about sharing the knowledge I have gained with those who come after me), or just singing and playing violin.

Graduate Research AssistantIntegral University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Jun 2022 - Sep 2022Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaI did a lab rotation to a bioinformatics lab; learnt basic research and drug target identification in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).Conducted drug candidate screening and refinement of 10 medicinal plants with neuroprotective effects using PubChem and Molinspiration Cheminformatics software.Used PreADMET software to characterize the ADME and toxicity of the neuromedicinal plants’ active agentsRan molecular docking of the screened agents to identify the model of ligand-target interaction at molecular level and clearly described structure-activity relationship. -
Graduate Student ResearcherIntegral University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Jan 2022 - Jun 2022Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaI conducted basic research; biomarker identification in cancer and specialized in studying HPV+ cervical cancer using HeLa cells. Worked on routine cancer cell lines maintenance by regularly checking their growth and morphology under light and phase contrast microscopy.Extracted bioactive components from a number of medicinal plants using Soxhlet extraction and maceration and did qualitative analysis of the phytochemicals in the extracts. Designed experiment protocols, maintained records and met expected objectives.Synthesized metal nanoparticles using the plant extracts and Characterized the synthesized metal nanoparticles using the Shimadz UV-1601 dual beam spectrometer, Particle Size Analyzer and Zeta Potential Analyzer Carried out preclinical studies on HeLa cell lines using the extracts and the synthesized metal nanoparticles in varied ratios to check their anticancer activity; used MTT Assay, DAPI Staining, Rhodamine Staining and Hoechst Staining to determine cell viability.Statistically analyzed the experiment data and evaluated their reliability and validity; Used MTT Assay results to generate IC50 value which gives a measure of drug's efficacy.Prepared the background and significance sections of my thesis statement and presented it securing 310/400 in Thesis Defense Evaluation Form. -
