      • Sep 2017 - Jun 2018

      Title: Characterization of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) cysteine point mutants for chemical genetic strategies Description: To study a specific enzyme cell specific, two fundamental strategies were combined. First, cysteines will be introduced into the active site of an enzyme, an important features is that the catalytic activity of the enzyme is not distorted. Secondly, a covalently binding inhibitor will be designed, only targeting the introduced cysteine. Techniques: Cloning techniques, bacterial and eukaryotic cell culturing. Transfection, protein overexpressing, GMO, in vitro Activity-based protein profiling, Biochemical assay, compound design using crystal structure and SDS-PAGE. Master thesis grade: 7.5

    • Small internships at different research groups of LACDR
      • Sep 2015 - Feb 2016

      During the bachelor I did my minor at the LACDR, Disease signaling and drug targets (DSDT). The minor contained small internships of a couple of weeks, where I worked on atherosclerosis, co-culturing in 3D and made a research proposal for a PKPD model for Parkinson's disease. 1. Protease subunit inhibitor decreases significantly the size of the plaque and the amount of macrophages in the plaque. Aim of the division is finding a treatment for Atheroslerosis. During the small internship, the aorta of mice with a fat-rich diet was isolated. We took cryosections of the aorta and using ImmunoHistoChemisty(IHC) CD4 and CD8 cells and macrophages were visualized in the formed plaques. Techniques: ImmunoHistoChemistry(IHC), Cryosectioning and microscopy 2. Co-culturing of 2 types of liver cells in 3D: a new model for liver fibrosis. Aim of the division is creating a model for liver fibrosis in 3D using co-culturing of stellate cells and HepG2 liver cells. During the small internship, the 2 liver cells were combined cultured in the 3D matrix MatriGel. Also, the effect of oxidative stress inducer (tBHQ) with different concentration was studied. 3D pictures were taken by the Nikon2 and the RNA profile was studied using qPCR. Techniques: Culturing patient-derived human liver cells, confocal microscopy and qPCR. 3. Made a Research proposal to study Parkinson’s disease. My research proposal was to evaluating the relationship between L-DOPA and the α-synuclein-pathway in Parkinson's disease using a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model.
