Authored tasks for IChO 2023, consulted on problems for IChO 2024, authored tasks and organized practical part for IChO 2025 and IChO 2026.
1. Engineering of new protein-labelling methods. 2. Rational genome engineering of re-coded bacteria. 3. Click-chemistry conjugation. 4. Photohpysical analysis of fluorophores. 5. Development of microfluidic assays for single-molecule tracking.
I performed the practical part of my master thesis at the Laboratory for Macro-molecular cancer therapeutics, Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Diagnostics., financed by OeAD Scholarship for International Students. As a part of tightly-knitted team, I developed a formulation of anti-sense oligonucleotides as a proof of concept for cancer gene therapeutics. I value the great communication and collaborative spirit with the members of the group.
I successfully synthesized fluorophores for application in the chemical biology of antibiotics uptake. Moreover, I successfully synthesized a molecule with the potential of overcoming antibiotic resistance, for antibiotics whose effect is dependent upon internalization. The most enjoyable experience was exchange of ideas with the group members of Medicinal Chemistry, where I presented a problem at the Monday seminar meetings.
I was selected as an Amgen Scholar at the Department of Biosystems Sciences and Engineering. I worked on optimizing the production of Vitamin D in yeast cell factories, with the goal in mind to produce food supplements that can act as a supplementary therapy to hypovitaminosis D.
