Delhi, IN

Currently, I am working as a senior research fellow in CSIR-IGIB. My project is to study drug-resistant epilepsy and the role of ABCB1 transporter protein in anti-epileptic drug disposition.Skills developed during My doctoral Studies-O Proficient scientific writing and editingO Strong problem-solving abilities O Effective leadership in multidisciplinary researchO Conducted hands-on training for individuals in basic molecular biology techniquesO Study design formulation and executionO Proficient genetic analysis O In-depth literature reviews conductionsO Strong analytical and statistical skillsO Establishing lab premises for routine experiments via HPLC-PDAO Protocol formulation for quantification of small molecule drugs and hormonal metabolites via HPLC and analysed chromatography data via Empower softwareO Mentoring junior team members and research internsPublicationsPaul PR et al.
