Thesis: Structural studies of DNA partitioning protein KorB from RK2 plasmid.• Performed experiments, wrote protocols and conducted data analysis.• Project management of several undergraduate and master research colleagues.• Taught lab members scientific techniques and how to use the laboratory equipment.• Comprehensive experience in downstream processing of proteins using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (affinity, size exclusion, reverse phase and ion exchange).• Trained in 3D structure calculation of proteins using standard solution state NMR experiments (isotopic labeled proteins).• Biophysically characterize proteins experiments with circular dichroism, small-angle X-ray scattering, dynamic light scattering and analytical ultra-centrifugation experiments.
