NEERAJ UNNIKRISHNAN

I worked for my M.Sc. I worked on a dissertation in a plant physiology lab, and my work was on drought resistance in chickpeas. I worked on a drought-resistant gene, cloned it into a plant vector and also into a protein vector, and the bacterial protein was extracted and purified, and a ROS scavenging assay was performed.

Also, I have skills in.

Plasmid isolation.

DNA extraction.

Protein extraction.

Plate streaking of bacteria.

Chickpea and Arabidopsis transformation.

I wrote three book chapters and one review paper, which is under review during my dissertation.
