I work in the Parasitology Lab at Central Drug Research Institute. I learned about OpenWetWare from Through search of user : Reshma Shetty and then this openwetware!, and I've joined because I would like to share my research and try to solve problems people face in molecular biology. I would like to edit topic of my research interest related to methylation/epigenetics..
