TRAINING OR RESEARCH ACTIVITY
During my research activity, I acquired a complete knowledge of molecular biology (estrazione DNA, PCR,
q-PCR, LMPCR, competitive PCR, mutagenesis, cloning, Southern e Western blot, Chromatin
Immunoprecipitation, CsCl chromatin gradients, RNA extraction and gene expression analysis) and biochemistry
techniques (Western Blot, Coomassie staining, Immunoprecipitation, ELISA). I learned also to maintain
immortalized cellular lines, transfect, generate stable lines of transgenic lines and perform reporter gene
assays. I learned how to purify primary myeloid murine cells. Recently I learned how to isolate,mantain in
culture and differentiate primary human stem cells of different origin.
I can perform FACS staining and acquire sample with FACS CANTO and FC500 Beckman Coluter. I am able
to perform an RNA in situ hybridization on fixed tissues and I have basic knowledge of IHC and
immunofluorescence.
I can organize and handle murine colonies, perform intra-peritoneal and intra-muscolar injections, basic surgery
and generate transgenic animals.
Thanks to laboratory experience, I became completely work autonomous, I learned to write scientific texts and
to project experiments and research lines of under-graduated and graduated students.
