In-vitro generation via phage display using HuCAL®, characterization and production of human antibodies respectively fab fragments for non-therapeutic applications, in particular for research and diagnostics. Quality control and characterization of the monoclonal human HuCAL®-antibodies in various assays (direct and indirect ELISA, Sandwich ELISA, SDS-Page, Western-Blot, binding affinity and kinetics). In charge of technical operations concerning laboratory equipment and lab automation.

Research Group Molecular Neurogenetics Main focus based on cloning of DNA constructs to generate a genetic mouse model, capable of conditional gene knockout using the cre/loxP-system.

Research Group Clinical Neuroendocrinology Studies about pathogenesis and pathophysiology on pituitary adenomata were performed. Detecting shift in expression of receptors and signaling proteins after cell stimulation by western blot to study the mTOR-p70S6K pathway. Correlating modification in cellular mRNA synthesis shown by RT-PCR.
