Profile Summary

I am a Ph.D. in Zoology from the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, with over seven years of extensive research experience in molecular biology, neurogenetics, and clinical neuroscience. My doctoral work was conducted in the Department of Neurology, where I designed and executed interdisciplinary research integrating molecular techniques, biochemical assays, and bioinformatics analysis. My research expertise includes gene polymorphism analysis, molecular diagnostics, circulating biomarker evaluation, and in silico functional network analysis. I have worked extensively with techniques such as RNA/DNA isolation, RT-PCR, qPCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, Western blotting, ELISA, PCR-RFLP, sequencing analysis, immunohistochemistry, and spectrophotometric assays. I am proficient in molecular data interpretation and statistical analysis using tools such as GraphPad Prism, SPSS, Python, and specialized bioinformatics platforms including STRING, Cytoscape, SwissADME, ProTox-II, and structural modeling tools. My published research includes peer-reviewed articles in indexed journals focusing on SCN1A gene functional network analysis and rare neurometabolic disorders. I also have ongoing research projects examining genetic polymorphisms and circulating biomarkers in generalized genetic epilepsy (GGE), as well as caregiver impact studies and review articles on febrile convulsion genetics. In addition to laboratory research, I have substantial experience in clinical research coordination, including patient screening, questionnaire-based studies, ethical compliance, sample collection, and academic documentation. I hold Good Clinical Practice (GCP) certification and have contributed to grant proposal preparation and manuscript development. I have also assisted in undergraduate and postgraduate laboratory instruction, mentored junior researchers, and supported academic documentation aligned with university and regulatory standards. I am particularly interested in collaborative projects involving: • Molecular assay design and optimization • Gene–disease association studies • Biomarker analysis • Bioinformatics and network analysis • Scientific writing and manuscript preparation • Research proposal development • Clinical data interpretation I bring strong analytical skills, methodological rigor, and publication-oriented research insight to consulting assignments in life sciences, biotechnology, neuroscience, and clinical research domains.
