      Microbial System & Promoter Activity Studies, University of Bremen •Designed split-domain mutants (site directed mutagenesis), PCR, carried out a successful cloning strategy, and bacterial transformation •Promoter::eGFP reporter assays: Investigated the cis-regulatory architecture of a poplar gene by promoter truncation and reporter assays in Nicotiana •Fluorescence and Confocal microscopy for spatial visualization of promoter activity, and Image analysis using ImageJ/ Fiji •The Lab project was presented in a poster presentation

    • Student Assistant
      Sep 2022 - Dec 2022 · 4 mos

      Advanced Ceramics, University of Bremen — Bremen, Germany Supervisor: Dr. Deepanjali Dutta Project: Alumina Ceramic Textiles as Novel Bacteria‑Capturing Wound Dressings Performed antibacterial testing of ceramic wound dressings; conducted culture work with E. coli K‑12 and Bacillus subtilis under sterile conditions. Prepared nano‑porous alumina textiles and other wound‑dressing materials for laboratory evaluation. Completed media preparation, inoculation, incubation, and plating for comparative assays on alumina textiles vs. alternative dressings. Ran cell viability assessments on bacterial cultures exposed to alumina and comparator dressings. Compounded simulated wound fluids (SWF) and carried out protein‑adhesion tests to evaluate fluid–textile interactions.
