Group of Molecular Targeted Therapies (Sabrina Oliveira)"Improving the efficacy of nanobody-targeted photodynamic therapy"

• Support of the scientific staff in experimental procedures and evaluation • Carrying out the recombinant expression and purification of proteins intended for paper-based Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) applications• Preparing and performing LFAs

• Research internship in the division of protein engineeringfocusing on the development of protein-based pharmaceuticals (e.g. affibody molecules). • Further development, recombinant expression, purification, and characterization of promising affibody molecules intended for improving biodistribution properties in neurodegenerative disorders with a focus on uptake into the brain

Bachelor Thesis: “Expression and Stability Assessment of vNAR Proteins”Examine and improve the production and purification process of single-domain, high-affinity binders termed variable New Antigen Receptor (vNAR).

Performing several experimental validation procedures for the quality management of newly developed products based on Lateral Flow Assays (LFA) intended for therapeutic drug monitoring.
