• Efficacy of various plant extracts in curing plasmids using the DH5α host system, https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Dr6s3OS6qmfOZKMnIpY_zPCJS1GEYMS/view

• Development of a cell-based assay to estimate functional activity: this is a long project done during our eight months of internship. In this project, a cell-based assay method was developed to estimate the functional activity of the anti-CD20, and titled as role of immune system suppression in disease progression and relapse prevention in multiple sclerosis by using monoclonal antibody
• Plasmid curing of DH5-alpha using natural extracts; in this, we cure the plasmid of DH5-alpha, which is a strain of E. coli, using plant secondary metabolites collected from the roots and leaves of various plants, and check whether the plasmid is present even after the treatment with the extracts using agarose gel electrophoresis
• Molecular techniques for DNA sequencing: This is a short project done during our one-month internship training on molecular techniques. We isolated DNA samples from blood, bacteria, and fungi using different principles, amplified them using the PCR technique, and later analyzed the samples for sequence using the Sanger sequencer

• CuraTeQ Biologics: 8 months, Hyderabad
