Academic focus for the education: Mainly wet lab work, including molecular biology, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and fermentation, as well as theoretical immunology, systems biology and bioinformatics

Master’s project: ”Quantitative assessment of the morphology in protein producing filamentous fungi using semi-automated image analysis”

Assembled bench-scale bioreactors and independently performed all steps in batch cultivation of the filamentous fungus, Aspergillus nidulans
Quantified growth and morphology of Aspergillus nidulans during submerged batch fermentation
Developed an image analysis method (macro) in ImageJ (Fiji) for the quantification of the morphology of filamentous fungi
Developed expression vectors for the construction of protein-overproducing strains via USER cloning
Qualitative analyses (HPLC, MS. PCR and more)
