PROJECTS
Master's thesis titled ''Generation and
characterisation of K377R mutation in Human
Kisspeptin-1 receptor'
11/2022 - 04/2023 Parel, Mumbai, India
Generated a mutant of Human KISS1 receptor to check its activity with
respect to the wild type.
• THe mutant exhibited a 20% reduction in surface expresiion.
An Inventive Approach to Design Eco-Compatible
Sanitary Napkins by Harnessing the Absorptive
Attributes of Invasive Eichhornia Crassipes
2020 Churcchgate, Mumbai, India
Conducted research inorder to understand the need of eco compatible
pads along with conducted consumer survey to address common
problems faced by women when using sanitary napkins.
• Designed sanitary napkins which are biodegradable and eco
compatible.
Effect of Missense Point Mutations on the Structural
Stability and Functional Activity of Palladin
2022 CST, Mumbai, India.
Investigated how missense point mutations affect the structural
stability and actin-binding function of Palladin, a key cytoskeletal
protein.
• Findings revealed that specific mutations disrupt protein folding and
impair functional activity, highlighting their role in cytoskeletal
regulation.

PROJECTS
Extraction, Characterisation and Antimicrobial
Activity of Exopolysaccharides from Bacillus spp.
Produced in Different Media : A Comparative Study
2022 CST, Mumbai, India
Investigated the effect of production of exopolysaccharides secreted
by Bacillus species in different media and checked its anti microbial
activity on E.coli, S.aurues and Pseudomonas species.
• EPS from basal and malt media, rich in protein as confirmed by the
Folin–Lowry method, exhibited antimicrobial activity, particularly
against S. aureus, aligning with findings by Petrova et al. Notably,
EPS from basal media showed phenolic O-H peaks at 3600 cm⁻¹,
potentially contributing to its modest activity against gram-positive
bacteria.
In vitro Cytotoxic Effect of Piperine Isolated from
Piper nigrum fruits on Different Cancer Cell Lines
2022 CST, Mumbai, India
Extracted piperine from piper nigrum and investigated its effect on
various cell lines.
• Piperine showed a statistically significant, dose-dependent
reduction in cell viability in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 breast
cancer cell lines (F > F₍critical₎, p < 0.05). However, no significant
difference in response was observed between the two cell lines
across concentrations (F < F₍critical₎, p > 0.05).
NATURAL EXTRACT BASED DERMACEUTICAL
PRODUCTS AN ENDEAVOUR TO SAVE CORAL REEFS
2022 CST, Mumbai, India
conducted a survey to determine consumers preferences' of skincare
products along with research to determine nin harmful products for the
coral reefs in sunscreen and other skincare products.
• Designed a sunscreen, scrub and lotion containing ingridients safe
for the coral reefs.
