I specialize in developing protocols to differentiate human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and epicardial cells in vitro. My responsibilities include managing the cell culture lab, designing and executing experiments, and conducting assays such as immunostaining, real-time PCR, and epifluorescence microscopy. I have expertise in cell type differentiation, characterization, and endpoint analysis. I document observations, analyze results, maintain a detailed lab journal, and summarize findings for internal presentations.

My research investigates the development of epicardial cells in a Plakophilin-2 mutant mouse model. I use histological analysis, immunostaining, and epifluorescence microscopy. 

In my Bachelor thesis, I performed immunostaining assays to validate the results of single-cell sequencing data on embryonic heart tissue.  

I performed characterization assays on iPSC derived epicardial cells.

I characterized molecular structure of desmosome in a mouse model with Plakophilin 2 deficiency.
