If you feel Biology is boring, you will discover how interesting it can be actually! Coz I don't teach, I lay a path for you to learn by making Biology intriguing and interesting!

Gayatri's CV

RESEARCH and WORK EXPERIENCE:

Successfully completed a project on “The Effect of Antibiotics on Microorganisms” at the School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad and submitted report as part of the CBSE curriculum in 2005.

Worked as CSIR-JRF for the 3.5 years on Molecular Genetics and Bioinformatics after qualifying the CSIR JRF/NET EXAM-2010 at Dept. of Genetics, University College of Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad.

Worked as Research Analyst for 1.7 years at Thomson Reuters, Hyderabad.

Actively engaged till date in studying the essentials of professional development for teachers and how it can be implemented in classrooms by Lecturers.

Teaching experience

As part of my research work(CSIR-JRF) under my guide at Osmania University, I had taken few theory and practical classes for M.Sc. Genetics students at the same department and also received a very good feedback from the students on my teaching ability.
Handled theory and practical classes for Genetics and Animal Biotechnology papers as a lecturer for both UG and PG students at Osmania University College for Women, Koti, Hyderabad for a period of 3 years with excellent student feedback and support.
During the 3 year tenure, I had also been called by various University affiliated colleges as an External examiner to conduct the semester practical exams for UG and PG Genetics and Biotechnology courses.

KEYSKILLS:s

Molecular Genetics and related techniques, Bioinformatics, Statistical and Clinical Data Collection and Analysis, Teaching, Literature collection, Project designing and writing, Publication writing, Primer designing, designing guides for CRISPR-CAS protocols and executing them.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS:

• Executed a project on protein modeling of Troponin I which is the first of its kind considering that there is no available literature yet on this protein model and published it in PLoS ONE(August 2013).
Accession Number- NCBI ID: PRJNA194382

• Analyzed and submitted 6 novel SNPs to NCBI for which ss numbers have been assigned.
