During my PhD, I gained extensive experience in culturing iPSCs and iPSC-derived motor neurons as part of my research on ALS. Through proteomics analysis, I identified of a key mediator of C9ORF72-mediated ALS. I validated the candidate's role through in vitro experiments in cultured cells and in vivo studies using C. elegans models. Additionally, I developed and optimized novel techniques in our lab, including inducible gene silencing through lentivirus particles and electrophoretic mobility shify assays
