My Work Experience

Where I've interned and worked during my career.

Erasmus MC | Sep 2020 - Aug 2022

Research Intern

Current project: validation of cell-free DNA detection as a method in neurodegeneration research. Our research group will establish biomarkers based on methylation patterns of cell-free DNA derived from various brain regions which might be used as evaluation tools in such disorders as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or frontotemporal dementia. Main skills: Extraction and quantification of cell-free DNA via various commercial kits available (Norgen kit, Qiagen kit for purification, DeNovix and Qubit HS dsDNA kit for quantification); Bisulfate conversion with Zymo kit; Primer and probe design with MethPrimer, BiSearch; Methylation-specific qPCR; Data Analysis in Excel, Python; Literature search; Presentation at scientific conferences; Scientific writing - thesis defense, articles; Communication within the research group.
