Lab Experience

Common techniques in microbiology and bacterial genetics, for example: isolation of bacteria, induction of enzyme transcription, yeast genetics, transfection with viral DNA, transposon mutagenesis, differentiation of filamental funghi
Immunological techniques, e.g.: ELISA, FACS, limiting-dilution, immunfluorescence, cell fusion, differentiation of cells, preparation of mice
Pharmacodynamics: digestion of DNA, DNA-agarose gel electrophoresis, ligation, transformation of DNA in E.coli, transfection, analyzing clones, sterile working with permanent cell cultures, Western blot, measuring enzyme activity, showing apoptose-induced DNA fragmentation in gel electropheresis
Pharmacokinetics: cultivating primary hepatocytes, measuring MDR1-activity, RNA-extraction and gel electrophoresis, Northern blot
organic chemistry: different reaction mechanisms

SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Molecular biology, but especially pharmacology and immunology; getting the chance to study or to work in a foreign country.
