Investigated the interaction of regulatory T cells (Foxp3+) and Dendritic cells in mouse models ofasthma and human blood. Both cell types (or its precursors) were extracted from human blood or lymphatic organs from genetically modified mice. I carried out the following tasks: I designed and conducted experiments, collected data, analyzed, and evaluated the outcome independently. I established new protocols for special imaging techniques by reviewing publications and practical experiments. I adjusted experimental designs on own judgment of preliminaries results without restrictions or obligatory check backs from my supervisor or principal investigator. Daily laboratory duties included the establishment of in vitro live cell imaging (videos) of murine and human cells as well as working in the animal facility to seperate or tag mice for experiments. I isolated and cultivated in vitro murine and human cells and preparation those for FACS sorting and analysis. In vivo T cell activation (adoptive transfer) and mucosal antigen challenge were done in addition. Most experiments were often done in conjunction / parallel with my supervisor.My thesis was twice awarded for excellence in 2015 (poster award) and 2016 (best thesis award). I conducted a highly detailed analysis all data available with a very thoroughly made introduction into the field, resulting in a doctoral thesis.
