Research Projects
Project Details (M. Tech.)
 Project Topic : Analysis and development of protein-protein docking algorithm.
 The project is being carried out in final year as a partial fulfilment of Master of Technology Degree course
at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India.
 Supervisor : Dr. Shankar Prasad Kanaujia, Assistant Professor, IIT Guwahati, Assam, India.
 Project Summary : Protein-protein interactions are crucial in many biological process therefore, to
analyze such process docking studies has to be carried out. My work includes modification of protein-
protein docking algorithm for better performance using well known features of protein-protein interfaces.
Project Details (M. Sc.)
 Project Topic : A tool for finding restriction site on a DNA sequence.
 The project was carried out in final year as a partial fulfilment of Master of Science Degree course at
Chattrapati Shahuji Maharaj University, Kanpur.
 Supervisor : Er. Dev Bukhsh Singh, Lecturer, C.S.J.M University, Kanpur, India.
 Project Summary : Restriction endonucleases II are important protein molecules involved in
cleaving DNA molecules at specific site. Therefore, it is used in many experimental works concerning
recombinant DNA technology. This project involve a tool development work which is for prediction of
restriction site on DNA sequence and prediction of restriction enzyme flanking the know DNA sequence
for its isolation.
Other Projects
Summer Training
 Project Topic : Book management system
 Organization : Mascon Global Limited
 Duration : 1 Month
 Project Summary : Record of books available in library, individuals borrowing books, etc are all
important part of library management and digitization of this system helps in keeping these records
