Work History

Research Technician

Imperial College London
02.2024 - Current
  • Processed and analyzed human biological samples, including blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and sputum, ensuring accurate and reliable sample preparation
  • Performed cell culture experiments using primary human bronchial and nasal epithelial cells, including air-liquid interface (ALI) culture, to investigate donor-specific responses
  • Conducted flow cytometry (Fortessa III) involving cell staining, running, and data analysis to evaluate immune and cellular markers
  • Utilized molecular biology techniques such as qPCR and ELISA to assess gene expression and protein levels, contributing to the identification of differential responses among donors
  • Performed statistical analysis and data visualization to interpret experimental results and present findings in team meetings and reports

Graduate Research Assistant

Blizard Institute
05.2023 - 12.2023
  • Explored differences in immune cell population and senescence marker expression between younger and older asthma patients under the supervision of Dr Emma Chambers
  • Performed in vitro assays on freshly isolated and cryopreserved PBMC as well as serum samples using a variety of techniques, including cytometric-bead array flex, allergen stimulation assay with cell trace vial, proliferation assessment and human TSLP ELISA.
  • Performed whole blood staining, cell types were assessed using flow cytometry (Aurora, LSR II,Novocyte)

Immune POCT Research Group Intern

VivaChek Biotech
07.2021 - 08.2021
  • Assisted in accuracy/specificity testing and quality control measures of SARS-CoV-2 rapid tests, including VivaDiag SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody FIA Test Kit etc

  • Completed trainings on PCR, immunochromatography detectors and film-drawing and spraying instrument

Undergraduate Research Assistant

King's College London
09.2021 - 01.2022
  • A study analyzing the correlation between characteristics of Ara h 2-specific IgE and mast cell activation in a cohort of children with peanut allergies and peanut sensitization under the supervision of Professor Alexandra Santos.
  • Performed ImmunoCAP tests with patient serum and mast cell activation tests using flow cytometry.
