  During my final master internship on immunology, I worked on fine-tuning Factor H regulatory activity on host and bacterial surfaces. This was under the supervision of: Anna van Beek, Dr. D. Wouters, and Prof. dr. T.W. Kuijpers. Obtained grade: 8.0. Techniques used: ELISA (incl. cross-reactivity & complement binding assays), FACS, confocal microscopy, widefield microscopy, protein engineering, protein purifcation by HPLC, immunofluorescence, hemolytic assays, SDS-PAGE, Western Blot, gel electrophoresis, immunoprecipitation, and more.
