  Graduate research assistant

  Centre for Bio-Computing and Drug Development, Department of Biochemistry,I worked as a graduate research assistant, where my responsibilities included; 1. Design and execute experiments to extract, isolate, and purify phytochemicals from plant materials using techniques like solvent extraction, column chromatography, and HPLC. 2. Biochemical assays such as PCR and rt-PCR were performed to analyze the effects of phytochemicals on gene expression levels in cancer pathways, antioxidant response, and inflammatory response. 3. Performed in silico screening of natural product databases such as NPACT, and NANPDB to identify phytochemical compounds with potential bioactivity against specific protein targets. 4. Conduct literature reviews, assist in the preparation of research proposals, grant writing, and submit manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. 5. Analyze experimental data using Python, R, and bioinformatics tools such as GATK, BLAST, and BOWTIE for variant calling, and sequence alignment respectively. 6. Taught undergraduate laboratory sessions, providing hands-on training in preparing biochemical assays and visualizing experimental data using MATPLOTLIB and GGPLOT2 to effectively communicate data and results.Carried out research using in silico experiments (Bioinformatics) and in vivo procedures via molecular Biology involving DNA, RNA, protein isolation, and quantification Show less

  Research associate

  Supervisor: Dr Olusola Elekofehinti.Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology Lab.I currently work as a research associate. My duties include: 1. perform bioinformatics analyses on large-scale genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic datasets of breast cancer using bioinformatics tools and machine learning algorithms such as deseq2 and sci-kit-learn to process and analyze high-throughput sequencing data to uncover novel biological insights; 2. develop and implement bioinformatics pipelines using python for variant calling from next-generation sequencing data and utilize tools like bwa-mem and GATK for alignment and variant identification; 3. design and conduct biochemical assays (DNA extraction, PCR, western blotting, gel electrophoresis) to validate our computational results; 4. assist in the preparation of research proposals, manuscript writing, and grant applications. 5. train undergraduate students in in-silico drug design using tools such as auto-dock, Pymol, and Schrodinger suite, and mentor students in Python and r programming for analyzing cancer genomics data, including next-generation sequencing data, gene expression profiling, and pathway analysis. 6. Presented work at international conferences including AACR, ISCB, ESMO. Show less
