Postdoctoral Researcher

o Develop and optimize programs and tools related to Bioinformatics o C Source code to compute pairwise similarity between rows of huge data matrices (Comparing Bioassay results of NCBI PubChem compounds for evaluating their activity)

Project Assistant

My project was to develop web based knowledge portals using the data mined from Protein Data Bank. For backend I wrote Perl and PHP codes for datamining and populating the MySQL databases. I used HTML, JavaScript and CSS for the UI (Frontend). Additionally I designed a streamlined automated updating modules for updating the databases regularly.

Research Assistant

My project dealt with predicting the structures of viral proteins using Homology Modeling methodology (Modeller, Accelry's InsightII), refining the models using molecular dynamics simulation (Amber9). I performed insilico immunological sudies based on structural bioinformatics approaches(Conformational Epitope Prediction), the predicted results were used in the wet lab for experimental design & evaluation.

Computer Programmer

The objective of the Project is to develop software tools for simulating / engineering the Metabolic Pathways by using available full genome data, 3D- structural data of the proteins, metabolites, enzymes etc. As a member of Metabolic Pathway Engineering project I developed:

Implicit vs. Explicit Solvent Models for Calculating X-ray Solution Scattering Curves

To investigate the effect of the implicit and explicit solvent models on the calculated scattering curves, we developed a new program, X-ray Solution Scattering (XSoS) based on implicit (XSoS-implicit) and explicit (XSoS-explicit) solvent models.

High-throughput instant quantification of protein expression and purity (PYP turn off/on label)

We demonstrated a new method based on the Photoactive yellow protein turn Off/On Label (POOL) system that can instantly quantify the concentration and purity of a target protein.
