Accomplishments
Throughout my tenure, I managed thousands of data files, meticulously organizing and digitizing information previously maintained in physical formats. I ensured the continuous updating of website content and relevant materials, thereby enhancing accessibility and engagement. Additionally, I developed marketing and awareness strategies for the Indian Society of Human Genetics, effectively promoting its initiatives and objectives within the scientific community.
I actively conducted outreach programs to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing while establishing and maintaining a robust network of scientists and scientific organizations on a global scale. Notably, I participated in the 48th Annual Conference of the Indian Society of Human Genetics 2024, held in Ahmedabad, India, where I contributed to discussions and advancements in the field.
Furthermore, I facilitated a hands-on workshop focused on the fundamentals of next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation at the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Technology. This workshop aimed to equip participants with essential skills and knowledge, thereby promoting further understanding and application of cutting-edge genetic technologies.
In summary, my experience underscores a commitment to advancing the field of human genetics through effective data management, strategic outreach, and active participation in scientific discourse.
