• Postdoctoral Research Associate - European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute

  • Oct 2017 - Jan 2020

  Found a previously unknown tumor suppressor role for the transcriptional factor ZEB1 in acute myeloid leukemia. Contributed to understanding the function of GATA2 mutations in aged hematopoietic stem cells. Applied my knowledge in the hematopoietic system to contribute to a project on nutritional intervention for atherosclerosis, and wrote a review on the association of clonal hematopoietisis and atherosclerosis.

  Internship in Prof. Kamil Kranc laboratory and supervision of Dr. Milica Vukovic. Learned key principles and techniques in the field of normal and malignant hematopoietic stem cell biology such as immunophenotyping of mature blood and stem and progenitor cells using flow cytometry; dissection and extraction of bone marrow, blood, thymus and spleen cells; culture of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and initiation of leukemia in vitro using retroviral oncogenes; colony forming cell assays and in vivo establishment of leukemia; apoptosis, cell-cycle, DNA damage analysis using flow cytometry; FlowJo and GraphPad analysis of data. Contributed to my first research paper on the role of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) in acute myeloid leukemia. Show less
