Hey, all the very best and we hope you get selected for this JRF post at Panjab University, do check out all of the possible interview questions and the answers.

1. Can you describe your experience with nucleic acids, nanotechnology, and lateral flow assay?
   • Answer: I have experience with nucleic acid isolation, purification, and quantification, as well as knowledge of basic nanotechnology principles. I have also worked with lateral flow assay development, including designing and optimizing the assay parameters.
2. How familiar are you with the research project “Development of gold nanoparticles based lateral flow immunoassay for rapid and early detection of novel biomarker miR204 in type 2 diabetes (T1D)”?
   • Answer: I have read the project description and I am familiar with the general concept of using gold nanoparticles for lateral flow immunoassays. I am also aware of the importance of miR204 as a biomarker in type 2 diabetes.
3. Can you explain your knowledge of UGC-NET/GATE/other national entrance tests conducted by the Government of India?
   • Answer: I have cleared the UGC-NET exam and am aware of the exam pattern and eligibility criteria. I have also taken the GATE exam and scored above the qualifying marks. I am familiar with other national entrance tests conducted by the Government of India as well.
4. How would you approach the development of a gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow immunoassay?
   • Answer: I would begin by identifying the optimal size and shape of gold nanoparticles for the assay. I would then conjugate the gold nanoparticles with the appropriate antibodies or nucleic acids. I would also optimize the assay conditions such as buffer pH, concentration of gold nanoparticles, and antibody or nucleic acid concentration. Finally, I would validate the assay using appropriate controls and samples.
5. How do you plan to contribute to the research project and what are your long-term goals in this field?
   • Answer: I plan to bring my expertise in nucleic acid isolation, purification, and quantification, as well as lateral flow assay development to the project. My long-term goal is to gain more experience in this field and eventually pursue a career in research and development of diagnostic assays.
