Profile Summary

I am a researcher with over 7 years of experience in both wet-lab and computational biology. My expertise spans monoclonal antibody development, molecular docking, in silico vaccine design, bioinformatics, and scientific writing for peer-reviewed publications and grant proposals. Research Experience: PhD in Virology (Ongoing): My doctoral research focuses on the development and characterisation of monoclonal antibodies against Bluetongue Virus (BTV), including large-scale hybridoma screening, isotyping, and diagnostic assay (ELISA, cELISA) development. Molecular Docking & Bioinformatics: Proficient in using Schrödinger Glide, AutoDock Vina, PyRx, and HADDOCK for protein-ligand and protein-protein docking. Extensive experience in antigen/epitope prediction, sequence alignment, and phylogenetic analysis to support vaccine and therapeutic design. Vaccine R&D: Involved in subunit vaccine design for BTV using immunoinformatics tools, epitope mapping, and physiochemical property analysis. Scientific Writing: Experienced in preparing manuscripts, review articles, technical reports, and grant applications. Skilled in presenting complex data through publication-quality figures, tables, and clear scientific communication. Key Skills: Molecular docking (protein-ligand, protein-protein) Hybridoma technology and antibody development ELISA, cELISA, and serological assay development In silico epitope mapping and vaccine design Bioinformatics analysis (BLAST, Clustal Omega, MEGA, BepiPred, NetMHCpan) Scientific and technical writing Data visualization (Excel, GraphPad Prism, PyMOL, Chimera) Project management and collaborative research Previous and Ongoing Projects: Development and validation of monoclonal antibodies and diagnostic assays for Bluetongue Virus In silico design and immunogenicity assessment of multiepitope subunit vaccines Protein-protein docking and interaction analysis for viral-host studies Preparation of scientific figures and reports for publications, review articles, and book chapters Educational Qualifications: PhD (Virology) M.Tech (Biotechnology, Gold Medal) B.Tech (Biotechnology) I am passionate about bridging the gap between experimental and computational research to accelerate scientific discovery. I offer freelance support for molecular docking, scientific writing, data analysis, and bioinformatics projects, and am committed to delivering high-quality, publication-ready results on time. Let’s collaborate to bring your research ideas to life!
