  • Researcher PHD Student at TU Dresden
    Jul 2019 - Mar 2022 · 2 yrs 9 mos

    Cellular Biochemistry Group, Biotechnology Center, Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Simon Alberti Continued the experimental work for my PhD thesis. Characterized changes in the material properties of cytoplasm upon heat stress in Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells using a variety of biophysical, biochemical and cell biological methods. Developed protocols and adapted measurement methods for specific application, e. g. single-particle tracking, intracellular pH measurements, cell lysis and sedimentation assays. Measured mechanical, optical, protein-biochemical and mass density changes on a single-cell level. Automated fluorescence microscopy for long-time measurements. Established four long-term interdisciplinary collaborations, resulting in a publication and the implementation and optimization of several measurement processes for the model organism, including optical diffraction tomography (ODT), atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based nanoindentation and real-time deformability cytometry (RT-DC). Performed data analysis using R and Python. Developed and automated image analysis pipelines using ImageJ Macro. Support for fluorescence microscopes and microplate reader in the work group.
