My M.Sc. in a Paragraph

My M.Sc. by research focuses on peptide-guided drug delivery, working on the conjugation of chemotherapeutics to neurotensin for tissue targeted drug delivery. As of October 2014, I am using techniques such as bacterial transformation, protein expression and purification, PCR, mutagenesis, SDS-PAGE and DNA electrophoresis regularly. My M.Sc. will expand in the coming months into tissue culture, a technique that I already have experience with. I have previously worked on projects that employed immunochemical staining and subsequent quantification. In particular, VEGF expression in breast cancer cell lines in relation to angiogenesis and the effect of anti-cancer drug resistance on this.
