Sure! Here is the redacted text:

Dear Sir,
I am M. Angel Nivya, a graduate student of Prof. Rajakumara Eerappa from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India. I had a working experience of 3 years in the Centre for cellular and molecular biology (CCMB) under the guidance of Dr. Puran Singh Sijwali and worked as a research associate in the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) under the guidance of Dr. Archana Singh for one year. I was working as Project scientist II in the Translational Health Science and Technological Institute (THSTI) under the guidance of Dr Milan Surjit.
Research experience from Ph.D.-My expertise (in research) belongs to the cloning and purification of proteins and their biophysical and computational approaches to investigate the molecular interactions of proteins to histone peptides. Most of my Ph.D. research work focused on the UHRF1 (Ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING finger domain). We have demonstrated that the binding affinities of UHRF1 TTD exhibit higher binding affinity towardsH3K9me2 compared to H3K9me1/3through isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). We have employed a computational tool, Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation, to characterize the methyl status-specific binding of H3R2K9me by the TTD-PHD, and to analyze the effects of H3K4 di-methylation on H3R2K9me recognition. We have validated the MD simulation data through ITC binding study. These studies establish that the UHRF1 TTD-PHD exhibits lower binding free energy (ΔGbind) towards H3R2K9me2 compared to H3R2K9me3. We also showed that the SRA domain of UHRF1 binds to all 5mC oxidation derivatives.
Research Associate: In CCMB, I was working on biochemical and biophysical characterization of DNA Damage inducible (DDi1) protein from Plasmodium falciparum. Ddi1 is a retroviral aspartyl protease and is involved in the repair of DNA-protein crosslink. Ddi1 also acts as a proteasome shuttle factor. We investigated the Plasmodium DDI1 to identify its roles during parasite development and potential as a therapeutic target. We have also knocked in pfDDi 1 into Saccharomyces cerevisiae to investigate the growth effect.
In IGIB, I was working on isolation of Keratinocytes, Melanocytes and Fibroblast cells from foreskin patient samples and Cloning, Expression and purification of Transglutaminase 1(TGM1) protein from E.coli.
In THSTI, I was involved in the Development of a recombinant vaccine against Hepatitis E Virus and their immunological characterization.
Skills in Brief: I have also trained in molecular biology, biochemistry, and structural biology related techniques and also experienced in mammalian cell culture, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris. I am very well experienced in protein biochemistry, biochemical and biophysical characterization of proteins and epigenetics related concepts and experiments.
Research Interest: I am interested in DNA- protein, RNA- Protein and peptide-protein interactions, protein biochemistry, Structural biology and Epigenetics. My main goal is to setup independent research lab in good academic institute.
I believe that based on my research experience and skill set gained, I would perform to the best of ability for the given project. I am a highly motivated, innovative individual who works well independently as well as collaboratively on teams of scientists from various backgrounds. I also had experience in mentoring and training both undergraduate and postgraduate students with little prior research skills.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dr. M. Angel Nivya.
