With a background in microbiology and molecular biology, I´ve worked with cultivation, characterization, and enrichment of anaerobic bacteria / bacterial communities for a long time. My experience helps perform numerous tasks in the Meiler Lab, including DNA / RNA extraction, PCR, cloning, protein purification and expression. In addition to helping in the wet lab, I also provide assistance for practical courses in anorganic chemistry, instrument-based analytics and drug analysis, and general lab organization matters.
