Experience

1.5 years

Research Interest/Area

Industrial Biotechnology, Molecular biology, Proteomics, Yeast genetics, cancer biomarkers

Research

Yeast genetics

In my previous work experience, the work focus has been on tuning the expression of pharmaceutically important    proteins in Yeast models. This has given me extensive hands-on experience in yeast genetics, molecular biology and gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9.

Cancer Proteomics

The current work focus is on proteomics in cancer subtypes. Particular attention is given to Gastric cancer proteome, Post-translational modifications and Data-Independent Acquisition based biomarker panel development for gastric cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
