British Council sponsored student currently pursuing Masters in Biomedical Science from University of Sheffield offering classes in Life science subjects

Bhadra's CV

CAREER GOAL
To become an academician in the field of Cancer Biology handling research and teaching hand in hand.

ACADEMIC PROFILE
 Currently pursuing Masters in Biomedical Science from University of Sheffield, United Kingdom.
 Completed Masters in Biotechnology from Union Christian College affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University, India with distinction (77.05%).
 Completed Bachelors in Biotechnology from Saint Josephs College affiliated to Calicut University, India with distinction (79.2%).

AREA OF INTEREST
The survey conducted by World Health Organization predicts that nearly 10 million people may die due to Cancer in the year 2018 making it the second leading cause of death worldwide. Since the birth of Cancer cell begins from an unregulated cell division, I believe studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of cell cycle will throw light on novel anticancer therapeutic targets. As a part of Masters program at University of Sheffield I will be doing my research work on ‘Investigating a novel gene of unknown function involved in transmitting replication stress signals to the mitotic apparatus’. To formulate a more effective, less painful and cost-effective therapeutics to treat Cancer is my dream goal.

TRAININGS RECEIVED AND SKILLS IN HAND
Worked as Summer research Fellow at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology under the guidance of Dr. K Santosh Kumar, Scientist F, Chemical Biology and Pathology lab on the Chemical Synthesis of Antimicrobial peptides using Fmoc Strategy and its Bioactivity studies. I have hands on experience with
 Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis Method
 Chromatographic techniques
 Microscopic techniques
 Microbial Cell Culture methods
 Biomolecules Extraction, Purification and Characterization from various sources
 Antimicrobial Assay techniques
 Basic Immunological techniques including handling of disease detection kits (ELISA, Widal, RPR)
 Plant tissue culture methods
 PCR
Currently I am pursuing Masters in Biomedical Science from University of Sheffield and I have taken Modelling human disease and Cancer Biology as the lecture modules, taking Neuroscience techniques and Developmental genetics for practical. The techniques I will be learning during the program include
 Molecular Cell Biology techniques (Techniques to be learnt as a part of Lab project)
 Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy
 Protein Expression and characterization approaches including proteomics
 Quantitative PCR
 Si RNA mediated knockdown of gene expression
 Immunoblotting
 Neural cell culture methods (As a part of Neuroscience Practical)
 Histochemical and immunohistochemical procedures
 Tissue culture, basic sterile technique and the aseptic preparation of buffers and media
 Cryostat and paraffin section preparation
 Computer based image processing techniques
 Studying molecular and cellular principles using Zebra fish, Drosophila and Chick as model organisms
 CRISPR-Cas9 Technology
 Data handling methods

ACHIEVEMENTS
