I participated and contributed in a project. During this project, I evaluated the induced immune responses after immunised mice with BCG, with a particular emphasis on CD4+ and CD8+ tissue resident memory T cells, by using cell surface marker and intracellular staining to evaluate the production of cytokines and chemokines. Manipulation of mice, flow cytometry, genotyping, intracellular staining

Tubulin Folding Cofactor D Gene (TBCD) play a role in microtubule assembly in cells, some studies have associated mutations of TBCD with neuromuscular diseases such as hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism syndrome (MIM). I participated in a small project where I evaluated the molecular effect of TBCD gene by modified a neuroblastoma cell line using CRISPR/Cas9 system technology

Support the testing laboratory techniques as real-time PCR, electrophoresis, chromatin immuneprecipitation, purification of nucleic acid, cell culture; DNA and RNA extraction from paraffin embedded tissues, blood and cells. Document processing. Production of a scientific paper. I evaluated miRNAs biomarkers against KRAS gen for colon cancer.

I belonged to the cytogenetic research group at National University of Colombia, where I learned to identify human chromosomes and chromosomal mutations for diagnosis.
