Research Intern at Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) (2025-12 – Present)

Project Title: Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Lung Epithelial Cells – Analyzed high-dimensional gene expression datasets to identify patterns, trends, and cell-type-specific markers using R (Seurat). Under the supervision of Dr.

Arjun

Guha.

• Analysed large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets of lung epithelial cells using Seurat (R), performing data preprocessing, quality control, normalisation, clustering, PCA, and UMAP visualisation.
• Identified cell-type-specific marker genes, interpreted transcriptomic data, and ensured data quality, consistency, and reproducibility by resolving preprocessing inconsistencies.
• Maintained research documentation, prepared reports and presentations, and communicated findings through clear scientific visualizations.
• Collaborated with mentors and multidisciplinary research teams to refine analytical workflows, coordinate project progress, and support data-driven research outcomes.
