Work History

Master’s Thesis Research Student

Iwase Lab, Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan Medical School
08.2024 - Current
  • Investigated RAI1's specific binding affinity to dopaminylated histone (H3Q5dop) with respect to other Histone modifications using Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) to quantify interaction strength, with potential implications for understanding RAI1’s regulatory role in neurodevelopment
  • Conducted RNA-seq analysis and differential gene expression profiling to investigate the role of RAI1 mutation in iNeurons, highlighting its impact on gene expression modulation
  • Performed molecular cloning of the Dopamine Transporter (SLC6A3) gene into plasmids and successfully transfected HEK-293T cells for in vitro analysis of RAI1 and dopamine interaction

Research Intern

Ahmedabad
02.2024 - 05.2024
  • Participated in the observation of patients with genetic disorders and genetic counseling sessions under Dr Jayesh Sheth.
  • Gained hands-on experience in conducting cytogenetic and molecular genetic diagnostic tests, while also learning about various de novo variants and diseases

Research Trainee

Dr.Omicslabs Private Limited
09.2023 - 12.2023
  • Conducted RNA-seq to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and molecular pathways involved in peanut allergy-induced immune responses, distinguishing peanut-allergic individuals from healthy controls
  • Analyzed enrichment and pathway analyses revealing DEG’s involvement in inflammatory conditions (e.g., asthma, IL-17 signaling, inflammatory bowel diseases) and identifying key regulatory hubs in protein-protein interaction networks

Exchange Research Trainee

Sengupta Lab, Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital
12.2022 - 05.2023
  • Synthesized drug loaded nanoparticles conjugated with antibodies through lipid film hydration technique that serves as a combination therapy to decrease the widespread of melanoma
  • Cultured and Maintained Melanoma Cells, checked the cytotoxicity of the combination therapy in melanoma cells through MTT Assay, protein inhibition efficacy through Western Blotting and internalization through Fluorescent Microscopy

Minor Project Research Student

Computational Biology Lab, Department of Genetic Engineering, SRMIST
07.2022 - 11.2022
  • Conducted data collection, preprocessing, exploratory analysis, and stationarity testing using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test to ensure data suitability for accurate forecasting; fine-tuned ARIMA model parameters through ACF and PACF plots, achieving optimal predictive accuracy; evaluated model performance using MSE and RMSE, refining it to achieve a best-fit model

Junior Manager in Global Volunteer

AIESEC
02.2022 - 10.2022
  • Involved in offering Global Volunteer opportunity to youths, which is a cross-cultural experience for youths (age 18 – 30)
