My thesis aimed to elucidate a potentially novel binding partner to pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-23. Additionally, I also assessed whether IL-22 could regulate the expression of a protective soluble IL-23R variant. Findings from this study will deepen our understanding as to how the IL-23R signalling pathway, and has implications not only for Inflammatory Bowel disease treatment but also other immunopathologies.Research Skills• Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal)• Strong interpersonal skills which strengthens teamwork• Experimental Design• Data Analysis• Researching Literature• Writing/Editing Manuscripts• Bacterial Cell Culture• Mammalian Cell Culture (Primary and Immortalised)• Colonic Crypt Isolation• 3D Organoid Culture • Protein/DNA/RNA Extraction• qPCR/PCR• PCR genotyping• Western Blotting • Immunofluroescence, confocal microscopy• Plasmid transfections• General animal husbandry, daily monitoring, disease scoring, i.p. injections, euthanasia, tissue harvesting, sample processing, serum isolation.
