At the Downstream Processing department, biopharmaceuticals are isolated. As a technician, I'm taking part in conducting these processes, which are executed in a cleanroom under Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines.

WLN is a company which focuses on water quality and water technology. As a microbiological analist, I conducted different types of analysis, in order to determine the presence of several types of bacteria in (tap) water.

For my internship and for writing my thesis, I did research to the radiolabeling of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracers. In order to fulfill this task, the synthesis of required precursors was performed as well. PET is a technique, which is used for the imaging of metabolic processes by the detection of gamma radiation. For example, the technique is widely used in the detection of several types of cancer, using the radiolabeled glucose equivalent [18F]FDG.
