Work History

Senior Molecular Technician

Center of Advanced Research on Diagnostics in Cancer(C-CARD), Karkinos Healthcare, IIT Guwahati
- Current
  • Development and implementation of SOPS for molecular oncology lab
  • Initiated and standardized of RT PCR and sequence-based assay for cancer diagnosis
  • Performing Whole Genome Sequencing, targeted gene panel sequencing in Illumina Novaseq and Nextseq Sequencer
  • Laboratory inventory management as per institute inventory management policy.

Scientific Officer

Tata Medical Center, Kolkata
01.2021 - 02.2023
  • My project involved in standardization of different Real Time PCR, DDPCR assay for molecular oncology test development
  • Performing routine DNA and RNA extraction from blood and FFPE tissue, RT-PCR, Fragment Analysis, Sanger sequencing, NGS of clinical samples
  • Responsible for interpretation and implementation of established procedures to prepare appropriate specimens for cytogenetic and FISH analysis.

Junior Research Fellow

Amity University KOLKATA
09.2018 - 12.2019
  • Identification of differentially expressed genes during EMT transition and to understand the physiological significance of those changes
  • Assessment of different EMT markers expression at both RNA and protein level is done using NMUMG cells as a model system
  • Analysis of RNAseq data which intoned changes at the transcriptional level during induction of EMT by TGF-beta exposure
  • The RNAseq data was then further validated by real time PCR analysis and expression of those genes at protein level also checked by Western Blotting.

Research Assistant

IISER-KOLKATA
02.2018 - 08.2018
  • Project involved to characterize the IP6 mediated dimer of BTK
  • In this project, I have performed protein (BTK) purification using NI-NTA column by HPLC method
  • After purifying protein, I have done Gel filtration assay for deducing the interaction between BTK and IP6.

Summer Intern

CSIR-IICB
05.2017 - 06.2017
  • Dissertation named 'Ellagic acid induces ROS generation caused anti-proliferation of colon carcinoma cells (HCT-116)- in vitro study'
