Work with thought leaders and academic experts from Baylor College of Medicine

The objective was to study and optimize CAX-mediated biofortification and phytoremediation in plants. My research investigated the physiological functions, structure-function relationship, and inter- and intra-molecular interactions of calcium transporters cation/proton exchangers known as CAX in plants. My research used Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) as the model system to study CAX transporters and established membrane fractionation and enrichment techniques to evaluate the real-time movement of metals between membranes. Moreover, I also characterized new calcium transporters from both plants and animals. Other experience: Hands-on experience in executing potency assays (binding assays, In vitro, In vivo). Hands-on experience in RNAi technology (Designing, cloning, and heterologous expression of siRNA in plants targeting animal mRNA).
