      I have been working with unknown viruses and analysing of known viruses (dengue, herpes and influenza viruses, lentivirus, retroviruses, baculovirus). For these analyses I have been using molecular techniques, primary cell culture, electron and confocal microscopy techniques and different sequencing methods like next generation sequencing. Due to my professional experience I have working experience in animal and human virus high security laboratories.Projects:• Microfluid array medical device development for infectious and non-infectious biological material• Identification of novel pathogens with the help of newly created genetically modified cells and new chip detection tools• Cell line development and establishment for different virological agents• Analysis of patient samples with unknown infections • Laboratory establishment for cell line cultivation, virus production and analysis• Management of an industry and government co-operation Show less
