Ruchika Jaral

Recent graduate with excellent research, technical and problem-solving skills. Detail-oriented and able to learn new concepts quickly.

• I like to read, and cook. I like to read all kinds of stuff ranging from different kinds of magazines to different genres of novels(fiction, and non-fiction), but i like thrillers, and romances the most.
• About cooking: I like to try different kinds of foods, and as I' m a health conscious individual so i prefer to eat homemade food and that has what inspired to learn how to cook. I like to cook both indian, and non-indian cuisines.
• Apart from reading, and cooking, I like listening to music, and dancing.

• As a part of my curriculum during my masters course, I have submitted a master thesis on the topic, "CHEMINFORMATIC TOOLS TO EVALUATE DRUG-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS, AND OBSERVE STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS TO IDENTIFY NEW MOLECULAR IDENTITIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF OCULAR DISEASES( UVEITIS)". I worked on the oxazolidonones class of drugs and, its various derivatives. The protein of concern was protein L3 from Staphylococcus aureus, which is gram-positive bacterium, and whose extraocular infection could trigger the reactivation of autoimmune uveitis. I have employed computer aided drug-designing for drawing different molecules, and then docking docking them against the protein of concern.
