Dissertation

March 2023 - July 2023

Identification of cross talk between PTK2/FAK and menopausal status in breast cancer using computational approaches

Conducted an in-depth computational analysis of PTK2 protein expression across various breast cancer subtypes, assessing its association with patient outcomes and menopausal status.

Identified a significant correlation between PTK2 expression and enhanced tumor stemness, proliferation scores, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in specific breast cancer subtypes, implicating its role in tumor progression and metastasis.

Applied bioinformatics techniques, including gene expression profiling, pathway enrichment analysis, and statistical modeling, to uncover actionable insights.

Gained expertise in analyzing large-scale datasets using tools such as R, Python, and bioinformatics pipelines. Enhancing our understanding of cancer genomics and proteomics.

Summer Internship

November 2022 - February 2023

Identification of Focal Adhesion Kinase as a target for anticancer activity of Terminalia elliptica using computational approaches

This study focused on exploring the therapeutic potential of natural products in breast cancer treatment, specifically utilizing Terminalia elliptica, a traditional plant known for its various medicinal properties.

By screening phytobioactives present in Terminalia elliptica using molecular docking, the research identified chebulagic Acid as a promising lead molecule with superior interaction and binding affinity to Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) compared to the standard drug podophyllotoxin.

Acquired hands-on experience in advanced computational techniques, including protein-ligand docking, virtual screening, and binding affinity predictions, to identify and evaluate potential drug candidates.
