Research project studying the effect of sgRNA-mediated knockdowns of tRNA modifying enzymes in hiPSCs in the Laboratory of Prof. Dr. Danny Nedialkova (Mechanisms of Protein Biogenesis). This biochemistry lab rotation is part of my Biochemistry MSc. studies at TUM.

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

Research project focusing on developing a system to study temperature and oxidative changes in B cells in the Laboratory of Dr. Julia Jellusova (Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Ruland) at the TranslaTUM (Klinikum Rechts der Isar). This clinical chemistry lab rotation is part of my Biochemistry MSc. studies at TUM.

Wien, Österreich

Over the summer I was working in the Obenauf Lab at the Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) as a Summer Research Fellow under the supervision of the Ph.D. student Shona Mary Cronin. The research project focused on delineating the clonal dynamics and molecular mechanisms leading to immunotherapy resistance, especially in the context of checkpoint inhibitor therapy.methods: tissue culture (cell culture maintenance, T cell co-cultures), flow cytometry, in vivo mouse work

Garching, Bavaria, Germany

For my time as a research assistant at the aBACTER project (Chair of Organic Chemistry II of Prof. Dr. Stephan A. Sieber), I helped with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC), Persister Cell, and Plasma stability Assays under S2 conditions to test modified human kinase inhibitors as antimicrobial agents against drug-resistant bacterial strains.

Lab of Dr. Christian Schmees | Tumour biologyMy bachelor thesis project (1.0) was centered around the generation and characterisation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and the analysis of their impact on the T-cell-induced cytotoxic response to patient-derived microtumours. The results of my work helped to further develop a co-culture system of the patient-specific tumour microenvironment as an individualised platform for cell interaction as well as therapeutic and pharmacological studies. As a bachelor student, I participated in weekly lab meetings and journal clubs, presented my recent results and progress to the lab, and defended my project with a final oral examination and presentation.keywords: human dendritic cells, ovarian cancer, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumour microenvironment, checkpoint inhibitionmethods: PBMC/TIL/DC isolation, tumour sample digestion, MACS, flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, drug cytotoxicity assays

Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland

I worked as a supervisor of the basic chemistry practical course for first-year medicine and dentistry students where I held introductory colloquia, supervised the experiments, helped with and proofread the protocols and seminar questions.

During my 4-week internship, I was able to get an insight into two research groups. Firstly, as part of the Organ-on-a-chip group, I helped on a project specifically focusing on the development of a microfluidic system incorporating white adipose tissue (WAT-on-a-chip) with primary adipocytes from fresh skin biopsies. Secondly, during my work in the Molecular Biotechnology group (now known as the cell and tissue technologies innovation field) I was involved in the cloning and transformation process of a factor VII expressing cell line as well as the validation of a HEK hTLR4 cell line in a time-& dose-dependent PAMP-Assay.Additionally, I attended the weekly group and department meetings as well as the journal club.
