As
a graduate research assistant while working towards my dissertation, I
setup the cell-culture facility in the lab and cultured a variety of
cell lines. The project included fabrication of polymer nanoparticles,
characterization of the nanoparticles, study the uptake of nanoparticles
in different cell lines and perform photodynamic therapy experiments on
these cell lines treated with the nanoparticles. This included confocal
fluorescence microscopy, intracellular spectroscopy, cell viability
assays etc.

Fabrication
of composite conducting nanoparticles for targeted photodynamic
therapy. Single molecule and single particle spectroscopy. Intracellular
spectroscopy. Mentoring undergraduate student in lab.
Summary
In
the six years of my work towards dissertation I single-handedly managed
to setup the cell-culture facility and had hands on experience in
confocal fluorescence microscopy, cell viability assays, Atomic force
microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Single particle
spectroscopy.
Expertise:
• Fabrication and characterization of
conducting polymer/fullerene nanoparticles by Dynamic light scattering
(DLS), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Transmission electron microscopy
(TEM), zeta potential, single particle spectroscopy (SPS).
• Cell culture: Cultured various cell lines such as OVCAR3, A549, MDA-MB-231, MCF7, MIA-PaCa2 and TE-71
• Cell viability assays: Hands on experience in MTT and MTS cell viability assays
• Confocal fluorescence microscopy: Built 3D images of single cells.
• Single particle/molecule spectroscopy and Intracellular spectroscopy:
Hands on experience in characterization of conducting polymer at
molecular level and conducting polymer nanoparticles, quantum dots,
nanotubes at single particle level using an optical setup with Ar ion
laser, diode lasers, Avalache photodiode (APD) for collecting
fluorescence images and a CCD camera coupled with a spectrophotometer
for acquiring single molecule/particle spectra.
• Lifetime imaging
(FLIM): Measured fluorescence lifetime in chitosan nanoparticles and
nanoparticle-treated plant samples using PicoQuant-Symphotime and 375 nm
pulsed diode laser.
Mona Doshi won 2nd prize for her poster presentation at ESP2014 in Santa Fe. Mona is a member of Dr. Andre Gesquiere’s research group.
Mona's
poster presentation, "Application of Charge Transfer and Triplet
Photochemistry in conjugated conducting polymer/fullerene nanoparticles
in Curing Cancer," featured research conducted with Dr. Gesquiere and
Dr. Alicja Copik of UCF's Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences.
Gesquiere is an Associate Professor with the NanoScience Technology
Center and Department of Chemistry.
The Excited State Processes in
Electronic and Bio Nanomaterials Conference focuses on fundamental
photoinduced phenomena in various nanostructured materials.
