Tutor of Methods in Molecular Biology Laboratory for Biotechnology and Biology bachelor students. WHAT I DID: I support and oversee students in practical experiments aimed at acquiring the practical knowledge to work within a Molecular Biology laboratory (DNA extraction, PCR, electrophoresis, crystallization, etc.).

WHAT I DID: I worked on a drug discovery project aimed to inhibit NADPH oxidase.WHAT I LEARNT: Expression and protein purification, enzyme inhibition studies, crystallization and co-crystallization techniques.

WHAT I DID: I worked on a project to set up and optimize the enzymatic synthesis of morphinan alkaloids, focusing on heterologous protein expression and characterization. WHAT I LEARNT: Transformation (heat-shock and electroporation); cell culture; heterologous expression of enzymes; evaluation of protein expression (SDS-page); lyophilization; development of biocatalytic reactions; compound purification and characterization (Silica gel chromatography, biphasic extraction, filtration… Show more WHAT I DID: I worked on a project to set up and optimize the enzymatic synthesis of morphinan alkaloids, focusing on heterologous protein expression and characterization.
