Industrial Immersion
R&D Intern (July 1st – August 31st)
GA Generic Assays GmbH, Senftenberg, Germany.
I worked on several short research projects in the R&D facility of the company at Senftenberg. The main project is to develop a fast and robust assay for breast cancer diagnosis by combining fish and Antibody staining procedures. The second project is to make a quality control test for cell lines being manufactured at the facility to avoid batch to batch variations/contamination in the final product.
