Research Intern

• Mar 2023 - May 2023

Gained practical experience by working on two projects: lab-grown meat and recombinant DNA. Through the lab-grown meat project, I was able to hone my skills in different cell culture techniques such as cell isolation, expansion, and in vitro maintenance on a plant scaffold. As for the recombinant DNA project, in addition to gaining proficiency in working with fungi and bacteria, I learned techniques like plasmid extraction and electrophoresis.
