Gained hands-on experience in navigating and operating multiple scientific databases including NCBI (PubChem, PubMed), IMPPAT, Dr. Dukes, ChemSpider, DrugBank, Protein Data Bank, and UniProt. Efficiently extracted sequences, structures, and valuable information. Worked with bioinformatics and cheminformatics tools such as Swiss-Model, Open Babel, ChemSketch, BLAST, SwissADME, CLUSTALW, Swiss Target Prediction, and CASTp to analyze, model, and predict molecular properties and interactions. Actually enjoyed learning. 10/10 experience.

What chatgpt told me to write: •Attended a training session introducing key concepts in microbial and molecular fermentation. •Gained initial exposure to fermentation processes and lab setups. •Developed basic understanding of how fermentation is applied in biotechnology. My thoughts: College classes halted for this workshop. All it had was experiments we were going to study anyway in the current or upcoming semesters (tb bhi compulsory krdiya tha ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯) but it was ok, we goofed around and had fun.

What chatgpt told me to say: •Wrote 3 impactful articles on afforestation, animal cruelty prevention, and suicide awareness •Actively contributed to the NGO’s fundraising campaign, helping raise funds for environmental and mental health causes •Developed skills in creative writing, research, and cause-based content writing My thoughts: I didn't think I was ready for such adult-y stuff like internships and all but since it was introduced as a subject with credits in second year, we were forced to do summer internships- in or out of our field during our summer vacations after the first year. This was my first internship about content writing. Alhamdulillah girte pdte kari lekin received three well deserved certificates. It's a win.

About

Currently pursuing B.Tech in Biotechnology with hands-on exposure to bioinformatics databases & tools and microbial techniques. I’ve taken part in and won multiple intercollegiate competitions, from poster presentations to debates to creative content writing, and completed internships and workshops that fuel both my scientific and creative passions. I’m also open to learning outside my field, especially in areas like digital content, writing, creativity and freelancing. I also enjoy working on things that challenge me and allow me to keep learning. Looking for opportunities (internships/freelance) where I can learn, contribute, and grow. Let’s connect if you’re building something exciting in biotech, content, education or any creative space!
