During my studies, I had gained in-depth knowledge and understanding of the extranuclear functions of histone proteins and exosome biogenesis. I have further acquired theoretical and practical skills in a range of techniques involving cell culture (primary and cell lines), cell-based assays, exosome isolation and purification using differential gradient.

Setting up a platform for protein/exosome studies. Involved in the lab organisation.Isolation and maintenance of primary cell culture as well as rodent, murine, and human cell lines. Isolation of exosomes from mammalian cells (primary murine glial cells, rodent cell line) and examine proteins in SDS-PAGE and western blot. Proliferation assay on.

Project title: Identification of molecular targets of the transcription regulator ASCL1, which is differentially expressed in primary and secondary glioblastoma (GBM).Glioblastomas are the most common primary tumors of the brain. The tumors arising from the astrocytes (astrocytic tumors or astrocytoma) are histopathologically graded into four types.
