Systematic literature review investigating immune dysregulation mechanisms underlying Long COVID and post-viral fatigue syndromes using PRISMA 2020 methodology, with focus on molecular mimicry and persistent viral reservoirs.

Analyzing host–pathogen interaction data and cytokine dysregulation patterns from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases with structured search strategy.

Utilizing AI-assisted screening tools (Elicit, Rayyan) and reference managers (Zotero, Mendeley) for structured and reproducible literature synthesis.

Concurrent training in biostatistics and R programming to strengthen quantitative research methodology for meta-analysis components.

“Corona Virus Disease-2019: A Systematic Review”
Supervisor: Dr. Shankar Mondal, PhD [AIIMS, New Delhi] · Dept. of Zoology, PNG Govt. PG College, Kumaun University

Comprehensive systematic review of COVID-19 disease mechanisms, immune response pathways, and clinical outcomes using the PRISMA framework.

Analyzed peer-reviewed literature on SARS-CoV-2 immunopathology, cytokine storm mechanisms, and innate immune evasion strategies from PubMed and Scopus.

Reviewed emerging vaccine development strategies including mRNA, viral vector, and subunit vaccine platforms during the early pandemic period.

Applied structured database search with data extraction and critical appraisal, building strong scientific writing and synthesis skills.
