Project: unraveling the mechanism of resistance to Nasonovia ribis-nigri (lettuce aphid) in lettuce with a combined metabolomics, proteomics and transcriptomics approach. This was a collaboration with ENZA Seeds, KeyGene, Wageningen University, University of Amsterdam and the Academic Medical Center. I was responsible for the proteomics within this project. Furthermore, I initiated and coordinated the large-scale experiments and advised the partners on useful techniques and literature for the project.Tasks:- a method was developed to isolate, concentrate and purify phloem proteins; - Reducibility and quality of the method was checked with LC-MS; - 2-D electrophoreses and DIGE was optimised for phloem proteins;- an EST database was constructed in collaboration with KeyGene and LC-MS with phloem proteins was optimised in collaboration groups from the UvA and the AMC;-participation in laboratory management and supervision of students;-management of the stock control of chemicals and equipment and restock supplies and materials in accordance with established policies and procedures;-literature studies for journal clubs and presentation of the findings.
