INDUSTRY EXPOSURE

Current Job (since Dec 2011): Working as an Image Analysis Scientist at National Centre for
Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), Madrid. Highlights of some projects are mentioned below
 Introducing/Training biologist to various Image analysis softwares and answering their daily
 Machine learning for modeling and interpretation of High Content Screening (HCS) images of siRNAs for rapid drug discovery using Matlab, Definiens, ImageJ and Imaris. I have
developed a technique based on shape and texture of local cell structure and co-ordinate
system which will discriminate different siRNAs and controls, there by robust and rapid
screening. We also developed a supervised machine learning technique for GFP+/- phenotype
classification for High Content Screening. Corresponding work has been currently accepted
in Journal of Biomolecular Screening.
 I'm leading a project on 3D visualization of mice embryonic heart morphogenesis in order to quantify the mitotic spindle orientation using computational geometry and shape modeling in
OPT/Confocal Imaging using Amira, Imaris, MevisLab and Matlab. It mainly involves
a) Volume registration b) Tubulin Segmentation c) Vector quantification and visualization.
 Texture Based Biomarker for Quantifying Fibrillogenesis using Structure Tensor, Fractal Dimension, Lacunarity, and Homogeneity for both Confocal and SHG Images using Matlab
and ImageJ.

 Quantify the pattern (orientation) of GFP in Z-fish embryonic heart development and study the behavior of Epicardium formation. It also involves the intelligent scanning of Z-fish on
Opera machine by Perkin Elmer.
