Experience
-
Research InternIISER BerhampurMay 2030 – Jun 2026
Trained in transposable element biology and core molecular biology workflows, running PCR, colony PCR, and agarose gel electrophoresis for clone screening and molecular analysis. Carried out plasmid-based molecular cloning end-to-end: bacterial transformation, blue-white screening for recombinant clone identification, and plasmid isolation. Performed RNA and protein isolation, including protein quantification via BCA assay, to support ongoing transposon and cancer biology projects in the lab.
