I am science student about my entire study carrier, Life science

process always attracted me so I always want to be a become good
biologist in my life carrier. Biologists learn how living things work,
how they interact with one another, and how they evolve. They may
study cells under a microscope, insects in a rainforest, viruses that
affect human beings, plants in a greenhouse, or lions in the African
grasslands, Bengal tiger. Their work increases our understanding
about the natural world in which we live and helps us address
issues of personal well being and worldwide concern, such as
environmental depletion, threats to human health, and maintaining
viable and abundant food supplies.

To achieve my goal I take Biological Science at Intermediate and

Graduation level course. In earlier days in my pervious classes, I
always think how various microorganisms like Viruses, bacteria and
others are interact to human body and causing many types of
disease, after completed my higher education I well understand
about these things.

I have done M.Sc. in Bioinformatics where I detailed study about how

bioinformatics increase our understanding of biological process.
Bioinformatics is totally applied in the creation and maintenance of a
database to store biological information at the beginning of “genomic
revolution”, such as nucleotide and amino acid sequences.
Development of this type of database involved not only design issue
but the development of complex interfaces whereby researcher could
both access exiting data as well as submit new or revised data.

In order to study how normal cellular activities are altered in

different disease states, the biological data must be combined to
form a comprehensive picture of these activities. Therefore, the field
of bioinformatics has evolved such that most task now involve the
analysis and interpretation of various types of data, including
nucleotide and amino acid sequences, protein domain and protein
structures.

Overall study in bioinformatics I study about biological

macromolecule, their structural and functional properties, designing
of protein on evolutionary basis, how we can go from genome to drug
with help of bioinformatics software and databases. In this subject I
also learn about ligand designing and active site structure prediction
method. We can say that bioinformatics is subject for researchers.

I have also done 6th month research oriented project on the

topic”Prediction of catalytic residue of protein using Artificial Neural
Networking” at Indian Institute of Information technology, Allahabad.

Presently I am working as Senior Research Associate at United

Research Center, Allahabad; Dr. K.P. Mishra (Ex. Head BARC) is
Director of my research center. Here we are involved in development
of natural anticancer drug.
So most of my studies and works are related to research field. I am
interested only in research field because I want to do something new
in field of life science.
