I worked on a self-directed project that utilized primary mammalian cells to discover novel biomarkers for different cellular origin of pancreatic cancer. I optimized the isolation and culture of primary mesenchymal cells, analyzed the RNA-seq data to detect differential expression of genes using R, and performed immunohistochemistry assays to detect the.

Under the guidance of a Research Scientist, worked independently on several projects to validate in vitro gene delivery. I worked from the beginning with glycerol stocks to acquire transfection-grade plasmid constructs, optimized transfection (Avalanche, Lipofectamine, and electroporation) protocols for CT26 (murine) and H1299 (human) cell lines, and.

Setaria viridis is an ideal model organism for studying C4 photosynthetic mechanism in monocots because of its small size and rapid life cycle. To identify the genes responsible for C4 leaf anatomy, such as formation of bundle sheath cells and high vein density, I maintained transgenic Setaria plants and performed PCR screens to identify putative.
