Projects

1. GenInfoSync - Python Project

GenInfoSync automates gene data submission in Bangladesh's genetic disease database using three Python scripts: data collection, submission, and verification. It successfully handled 3,143 gene entries out of 3,744 available. The automation drastically reduced the submission time, accomplishing in 27-29 hours what would take 374-426 hours manually. Leveraging Selenium for web automation and Requests for API integration, the project expedites the database enrichment process. Accessible on GitHub, the scripts simplify gene information input, ensuring a more comprehensive genetic database. Notably, this initiative highlights the substantial time-saving potential of automation in genetic research and database management.

2. Road Accident Analysis Interactive Dashboard - Microsoft Excel Project

Road Accident Analysis Dashboard is report made by utilizing the demo data of road accident provided on kaggle. This dashboard is interactive that can be accessed by the slicers and timeline present on the dashboard. Various links to data and additional information are provided on the icons present on the dashboard. This project reflects upon the following:

Requirements of clients that will be the output of the dashboard –

Client wants to create a Road Accident Dashboard for year 2021 and 2022 so that they can have insight on the below requirements-

• Primary KPI – Total Casualties taken place after the accident

• Primary KPIs' – Total Casualties and percentage of total with respect to accident severity and maximum casualties by type of vehicle

• Secondary KPIs' – Total casualties with respect to vehicle type

• Monthly trend showing comparison of casualties for Current Year and Previous Year

• Maximum casualties by Road Type • Distribution of total casualties by Road Surface

• Relation between Casualties by Area/ Location and by Day/ Night

Metadata –

• File Extension - .xlsx • No of Rows – 307.9 K • No of Fields - 23

Software Used:

Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019)

3. Scientific Illustration - Illustrator Project

I have developed skills in scientific illustration to effectively communicate my research ideas and findings to the broader scientific community. I primarily use Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft PowerPoint for creating high-quality scientific figures and graphical abstracts. Some of my illustrations have already been published in research articles, while others are currently under review.

Signaling Networks

In the upper panel, I illustrated the spatial organization of the colon epithelium, showing distinct cell types including intestinal stem cells, Paneth cells, progenitor cells, enterocytes, goblet cells, and enteroendocrine cells. The lower panel provides a detailed view of the signaling microenvironment at the crypt base, highlighting key regulatory pathways—WNT/β-catenin, Notch, EGF, and BMP. WNT and RSPO signals, primarily derived from Paneth and stromal cells, activate β-catenin to promote stem cell proliferation and maintenance. In contrast, BMP signaling, inhibited by Gremlin1/2, suppresses stemness and induces differentiation. Concurrently, EGF and Notch pathways integrate additional cues for progenitor expansion and lineage specification, collectively maintaining homeostasis within the intestinal stem cell niche.

Tool: Adobe Illustrator

Hair Follicle

In this illustration, I have depicted the histological structure of the hair follicle and associated epidermal components. The figure highlights the stratified layers of the interfollicular epidermis—including the stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and basal layer—and the intricate architecture of the hair follicle, comprising the outer root sheath, companion layer, inner root sheath, and hair shaft. Key anatomical regions such as the bulge (a known reservoir of epithelial stem cells), sebaceous gland, matrix, and dermal papilla are labeled to emphasize their roles in follicular regeneration, hair cycling, and epidermal homeostasis.

Small Intestinal Epithelium

The illustration shows the organization of the villus–crypt axis and Peyer’s patch, highlighting major epithelial and stromal cell types, including stem cells, Paneth cells, goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, tuft cells, M cells, and immune cells. The crypt base harbors intestinal stem cells, while differentiated cells populate the villus under a protective mucus layer.

WNT Signaling

In this diagram, I have depicted the molecular mechanisms of WNT signaling, including the canonical (β-catenin-dependent) pathway and two non-canonical pathways: the Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) pathway and the WNT/Ca²⁺ pathway. The illustration highlights key signaling molecules, membrane receptors, intracellular intermediates, and transcriptional outcomes. WNT activation or inhibition affects cell polarity, cytoskeletal dynamics, and gene expression, with implications in development, stem cell regulation, and cancer. Target genes include AXIN2, LGR5, RNF43, ASCL2, and MYC.
