» This position was extension of my graduate thesis, to finalize the work which resulted in 3 first co-author publications in the domain of Genome Science and ~15 collaborative research papers published in peer-reviewed journals.» As a graduate researcher I studied the roles of non-coding RNA, protein, and transcription regulation in the context of cell cycling and inflammation. » Trained on single-cell RNA sequencing techniques (10x Genomics) in collaborating facilities and brought the knowledge to the UMC Goettingen, where I conducted, troubleshooted and assisted other scientist in executing the protocols.» Mastered common laboratory techniques, such as primary cell culturing, RNAi, RNA Immunoprecipitation, Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), RNA immunoprecipitation coupled with Mass Spectrometry (RAP-MS) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods - bulk RNA-sequencing, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq), Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-Seq), Hi-C and similar.» As a dedicated lab bioinformatician, I learned about automation and pipeline construction in R and Bash programming languages, usage of high-performance computing environment, ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag, Hi-C-seq, bulk and single cell RNA- seq and ATAC-seq, mass-spectrometry
