WORK HISTORY
Antibody Engineering, Drug Conjugation & Radiolabeled Therapeutics Orbit Co-op @UT MD Anderson
TX, US
At MD Anderson Cancer Center I focus on engineering and characterizing small-format antibodies and IgGs for therapeutic and imaging applications, including drug conjugates and antibody–radionuclide conjugates (ARCs).Experienced across the full antibody development workflow: PCR amplification, primer design (SnapGene), molecular cloning (Infusion cloning & T4 ligase), plasmid preparation (mini/midi/maxiprep), mammalian transfection, and purification using AKTA FPLC (Protein L, Prism A, and other columns).Skilled in analytical characterization with SDS-PAGE, HPLC, and Octet. Recent work includes conjugating antibodies with Alexa Fluor 647 to study internalization, cleavable linkers, and NLS peptide tags.Passionate about translating innovative antibody designs into effective therapeutics and imaging tools.I also engineer antibody framework regions to improve Protein L binding for purification of small format antibodies and recently began conjugating antibodies with Alexa Fluor 647 to study internalization, cleavable linkers, and NLS peptide tags.

ABOUT VISWANATH BAIJU
I am an incoming master\'s student in Biotechnology at Texas A&M University, driven by a strong passion for scientific innovation and a commitment to advancing research in the field. Currently engaged in projects focusing on critical aspects such as neurodegeneration, protein translation in Alzheimer\'s disease, and sustainable bioplastics synthesis. My research contributions include co-authoring a significant paper on synaptic protein translation in Alzheimer\'s disease, recognized with the esteemed Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award for outstanding contributions to neuroscience. Through internships at Cipla Ltd and MagGenome Technologies, I have gained hands-on experience in laboratory techniques and advanced analytical instrumentation, specializing in quality assurance, bioplastic synthesis, and environmental remediation technologies. I have also collaborated with Pawzzite Welfare Foundation on successful fundraising campaigns promoting responsible pet ownership and enhancing animal welfare initiatives. Committed to continuous learning, I have completed certifications in Neuroscience, Industrial Biotechnology, and Healthcare Systems Engineering from reputable institutions. I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to contribute to groundbreaking research and development initiatives that drive positive impact in both the industry and society.
