• Dissertation Research Project – Led a dissertation project on 'Comparative characterization of immunoglobulin (IgY) from different types of chicken eggs, and analysis of their antimicrobial activity,' using IgY as a model antibody reagent, purified IgY using ammonium sulfate fractionation, dialysis, and affinity chromatography, followed by protein estimation and SDS-PAGE to assess purity and integrity, designed and executed ELISA-based and well-diffusion antimicrobial assays to evaluate IgY performance, optimizing conditions and controls for reproducible, high-quality data, maintained accurate experimental records, and compiled results into figures and a manuscript, culminating in a first-author peer-reviewed publication
• Summer Intern – Rational drug design (computational methods), Prescience Insilico Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore contributed to in silico drug discovery workflows, including virtual screening and molecular docking of small molecules against protein targets, prepared protein structures and ligand libraries, ran docking simulations, and evaluated hits based on scores, interaction profiles, and structural fit, used structural visualization tools to interpret binding modes, and document workflows and key findings for internal presentations
• Capstone thesis research project – Evolutionary and structural analysis of regulatory proteins, Krea University. A 6-month capstone project titled 'An evolutionary analysis of the ubiquitin and SUMO proteins across eukaryotic taxa.' Applied MEGA for multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, and UCSF Chimera for structural visualization of conserved motifs, integrated computational findings with literature in a comprehensive written thesis, demonstrating strong analytical and scientific writing skills
