Research Intern at Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital & Research Centre, Jul 2025 - Jul 2026 · 1 yr 1 mo, Bengaluru, - Worked on elucidating the role of UGTs as a surrogate biomarker for the NRF2-KEAP1-CUL3 axis. I gained extensive hands-on and troubleshooting capabilities in western blotting and qRT-PCR. - Worked on finding the mutational landscape in patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma of our hospital cohort. Analysed SNPs and CNVs in a cohort of 93 patients. Learned to use Nf-core sarek pipeline to process the patient fastq files, analyse and visualise data from the VCF files in R language by using maftools and dplyr package with great comfort. - Tried exploring different machine learning approaches to harness gene expression data and survival data to predict prognosis based on the gene expression profile. Learnt dimensionality reduction which k-fold cross validation, which I utilized in regression models like logistic regression and cox regression. Gained basic knowledge in Python language. - Utilized command line based AI models like antigravity CLI to develop tools for diagnostic settings. Developed a working prototype of sample tracking software for NGS workflows for the NGS team to track the step at which samples are at. This also involves usage of barcode scanning system either through a smartphone camera or a barcode scanner to register and discard respective samples. The software follows all patient confidentiality guidelines. - Developed and maintained laboratory websites using gemini CLI (now antigravity CLI). - Taught wet-lab scientists basics of sequencing data analysis.
Research Trainee at Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer(ACTREC), Dec 2024 - May 2025 · 6 mos, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, - Maintained D. melanogaster genetic crosses (single and multi-gen crosses). - Performed larvae dissections and mounting them post Immuno-fluorescence for confocal imaging. - Learnt and assisted in transcriptomics under the guidance of lab seniors.
Research Intern at Azooka, Jun 2023 - Jul 2023 · 2 mos, Bengaluru North, Karnataka, India, - Honed skills in molecular biology techniques like Western Blotting, PCR, qRT-PCR. - Learned to have a scientific temperament towards problems and also troubleshoot them.
