Experience
-
Postgraduate Research ProjectMadurai Kamaraj University2025 – 2026
BioPROTAC-Based Strategy Targeting VPg of Cardamom Mosaic Virus. Amplified the E3 ubiquitin ligase gene and verified the amplicon using agarose gel electrophoresis. Performed plasmid isolation and restriction digestion for molecular cloning and clone confirmation; samples were processed for sequencing. Conducted computational protein–protein docking to investigate VPg–eIF4E interactions. Analysed predicted protein interactions and structural features using SwissDock and PyMOL to inform the proposed targeted protein degradation strategy.
