Adnan Warsi

About

Motivated B.Tech Biotechnology student at Integral University, Lucknow, building a strong foundation in bioinformatics, computational biology, and computational drug discovery. Hands-on, project-driven experience across molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, sequence analysis, and Linux-based scientific computing, with a focus on reproducible workflows and independent project execution.

Experience

• Molecular Docking Internship
  Iyarvi Research Center for Bioinformatics (IRCB) · Tamil Nadu
  — – Present

  Completed a 15-day summer internship on molecular docking, earning an A grade. Gained hands-on training in molecular docking principles using PyRx and Discovery Studio, and worked with biological databases including DrugBank, Protein Data Bank (PDB) and ChEBI for virtual screening and drug-target interaction analysis.

Projects

• Comparative Genome Study of Extinct Animal Species
  NCBI

  Planned bioinformatics project analysing publicly available ancient/extinct-species genomic data using sequence alignment, comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis.

• Computational Study of Nipah Virus — Structural & Drug-Target Analysis
  PDB, AutoDock Vina, PyRx, GROMACS

  Planned computational research project on Nipah virus focusing on structural analysis of key viral proteins and molecular docking/molecular dynamics workflows to identify potential drug-target interactions.

• NGS / SRA Data Analysis Learning Project
  Ubuntu/WSL, NCBI SRA, SRA Toolkit, fasterq-dump

  Configured an Ubuntu/WSL environment for NCBI SRA data workflows and generated FASTQ files using SRA Toolkit and fasterq-dump. Built working knowledge of the SRA to FASTQ to QC to alignment/quantification pipeline.

• SMA / SMN1–SMN2 Computational Research Project
  NCBI, Biopython, Python

  Conducted sequence-level analysis of the SMN1 and SMN2 genes, including transcript/protein identifiers, CDS extraction, nucleotide composition, GC-content analysis, and protein translation.

• Molecular Dynamics Simulation — Protein in Water (GROMACS)
  Ubuntu/WSL, GROMACS, VMD

  Executed a complete GROMACS simulation pipeline including system preparation, energy minimization, NVT and NPT equilibration, and production MD. Analysed trajectories using RMSD, RMSF, SASA and hydrogen-bond metrics to evaluate protein stability and dynamics.

• Computational Drug Discovery — Protein-Ligand Docking (6LU7)
  Linux/WSL, Open Babel, RDKit, Meeko, AutoDock Vina, PyRx, PubChem

  Built an end-to-end docking workflow using the 6LU7 protein target and a PubChem-sourced ligand compound, handling SDF/PDB conversion, ligand preparation and docking setup independently. Interpreted docking scores and binding poses to assess protein-ligand interactions.
