• Identification of differentially expressed lncRNAs in CD4+ T cell memory compartments 

  P.M, FAJAR (2024-05)

  Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins, but have been shown to perform regulatory roles in various cellular processes and in disease conditions. They have ...
• Evaluation of immune cell-specific functional response following single or combinatorial treatment with DNA damaging and immunotherapy agents using patient-derived immunocompetent cultures of High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer 

  V A, ABHILASH (2024-05)

  High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) is one of the most lethal gynaecological malignancies with a 5-year survival rate of less than 42%. Current treatment regimens against the disease include debulking surgeries, Neo ...
• Drosophila escape behaviours in spatially complex environments 

  PUJARI, ADITYA (2024-05)

  Escape behaviours are severely time-constrained due to fast predatory strikes. They thus provide a useful model to understand how different behaviour strategies are computed over a limited number of synapses. Broadly, one ...
• Development of 300-m gridded digital twins of precipitation over Delhi for 1980-2020 

  CHOUDHARY, VISHAL (2024-05)

  The impacts of climate change are felt by most critical systems, such as infrastructure, ecological systems, and power plants. However, contemporary Earth System Models (ESM) are run at spatial resolutions too coarse for ...
• Nanomechanics of Soft and Living Matters 

  KATARIA, SUJAL (2024-05)

  This section contains abstracts of projects done for completion of my MS thesis. Project 1: Molecular interaction of SARS-CoV-2 mutants binding to the human ACE2 receptor using AFM The main project of this thesis is ...
• IDENTIFYING THE PROTEIN INTERACTORS OF CHOLESTEROL IN PHAGOSOMES 

  H, SREEDEV (2024-05)

  Phagocytosis is an evolutionarily conserved pathway to degrade foreign pathogens and apoptotic cells. This process is highly driven by the lipid metabolism where cholesterol plays an important role. Although the role of ...
• Designing genetically encoded probes to quantify nucleotide cofactors during the cell cycle in Caulobacter crescentus 

  P, INFAS (2024-05)

  A recent study in Caulobacter crescentus, a dimorphic bacterial model to study cell cycle in prokaryotes, revealed the existence of a dynamic cytoplasmic redox and its importance in cell cycle progression. It was demonstrated ...
• Design and Development of Rechargeable Proton Battery 

  C D, NEETHU (2024-05)

  The pitfall of the existing energy grid system such as global warming, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and paramount pollution mandate the focus on renewable, and sustainable energy resources. The hydrogen economy is ...
• Analysis and Arithmetic of p-adic Numbers 

  DEY, PRIYANKA (2024-05)

  p-adic numbers play an important role in modern number theory. They encode important information about congruences between integers. From rational number, one construct the smallest complete field that contains rational ...
• A Framework for Assessed Cognitive Abilities in Entrance Examinations 

  SIVARAM, MANAV (2024-05)

  The study aims to understand the cognitive abilities that would constitute an ideal aspirant for Higher Education in STEM. Building up on the idea that aptitude can be understood in terms of abilities, we analyse the ...
