I have worked in the area of microbiology and molecular biology for over 15 years during which time I focused on the study of cell division and cytoskeletal regulation in prokaryotes. I have extensive experience in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, protein interaction and purification, western blotting, immuno-blotting, microscopy [which includes immunofluorescence microscopy (single label and double label), epi-fluorescence, phase contrast, single molecule fluorescence microscopy, PALM FRAP]. I have an expertise in bacterial cell imaging and bacterial genetics research.
My current research is in the area of microbiome where I am primarily involved in managing several projects and supervises wet lab. As a result of my research experiences, I am aware of the importance of frequent communication among project members and of constructing a realistic research plan and timeline. I am also involved in making various types of amplicon as well as whole-genome shot gun libraries to sequence on different illumina platforms (MiSeq, NextSeq, HiSeq) and PacBio to study the relationship between microbiome and several diseases.
