Raksha Bangalore Ravi

• Have earned 2 theses on projects under the title ‘Analysis of genetic variations of INS gene and IGF-2 in type II diabetic patients by PCR-RFLP method' and ‘Network analysis of proteins involved in causing Ischemic stroke'.

• Improved hands-on experience in primer designing and major bioinformatics tools usage.

• The main objective was to know the main genes causing the Ischemic stroke in humans and their functions.

• By using gene expression omnibus- database tried identifying the gene expression and protein-protein interactions which were involved in causing the Ischemic stroke

• Established the co-expression network of DEG's

• The aim of this study was to provide an insight to the molecular mechanisms of Ischemic stroke as a cerebrovascular syndrome through gene expression profiling and pathway analysis.

• Improved functionality in clinical practices of PCR, qPCR, RFLP, gel electrophoresis, macromolecule blotting and probing, arrays, DNA sequencing, DNA synthesis.

• Mastered all the microbiological practices like aseptic technique in laboratory preparation and analysis, culture techniques, fixation and staining, identification techniques.

• Specimen processing
• Microbial cultivation and Microscopic analysis
• Gram staining and Biochemical testing
• Serological testing
• Molecular diagnostics and Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
