I am involved in the development, troubleshooting and validation of analytical methods. Aside from the R&D aspect, the job also contains some routine work like sample analysis and QC support. The role is mainly lab based, but also includes writing reports and interacting with other departments such as QC. • Applied techniques: SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, ELISA, spectroscopic assays (i.a. Bradford), immunoCAP

In this role I was responsible for the preparation, execution and documentation of experimental work. Together with more senior staff I prepared the day-to-day planning. Additionally, I performed data analysis and processed the data into files that could be communicated to the clients. • Applied techniques: cell culture (i.a. hESC and iPSC derived cardiomyocytes), cell-based assays, high content analysis, RNA and DNA extraction, PCR/ddPCR/qPCR, SDS-PAGE, western blotting, MSD• Additional responsibilities: lab head, ordering of materials, writing and updating protocols, several side tasks

External master thesis internship (minor) at the department of Pre-Clinical Research (HAL Allergy, Leiden).Proof of concept study for the extraction, modification and characterization of allergens. • Applied techniques: Bradford assay, SDS-PAGE, western blot, immunoCAP, (dia)filtration • Additional experience: research was conducted in a GLP environment

Master thesis internship (major) at the department of Metals in Catalysis, Biomimetics & Inorganic Materials (Leiden Institute of Chemistry).Project description: In vitro characterization of light-activatable, chemotherapeutic ruthenium complexes under hypoxic conditions.• Applied techniques: cell culture, bright-field and fluorescence microscopy, SRB assay, agarose gel electrophoresis
