My task was to encapsulate various types of DNA in lipid vesicles and to determine a cut-off length for DNA encapsulation. Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe encapsulation. A mechanism of DNA capture within vesicles was also proposed. This research would act as a stepping stone towards artifical cells.
The thesis was titled "Mechanism of DNA Release from PVA Gel to form DNA Encapsulated Giant Unilamellar Vesicles", which was a continuation of the internship titled "Encapsulation of DNA in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles".

I explored the blood filtration capabilities of polymeric hollow fibre membranes and their use as dialysers. The efficiency of the membrane in filtering urea, creatinine and other metabolites was measured and compared to commercially available membranes.
The thesis was titled "Use of Hollow Fibre Membranes in Hemodialysis", which was a continuation of the internship titled, very plainly, "Hollow Fibre Membranes".
Thesis supervisor: Prof. Jayesh Bellare.
As part of the mandatory industrial experience during my bachelor's degree, I studied and documented the workings of a formulation plant for Unichem, a pharmaceutical company and identified various chemical engineering-related processes at the plant.
