With this project, we want to investigate molecular and cellular profiles that are characteristic of the diseases. The research group has a particular interest in studying immunogenetics, immune cell phenotypes and extracellular vesicles.
Main methods
The student will learn molecular biology methods and data analyses, including methods such as:
- DNA extraction, PCR and genotyping
- Isolation of immune cells
- RNA extraction and real time PCR
- Separation of extracellular vesicles
- Protein analyses including Western blotting
- Library preparation and high throughput sequencing
- Bioinformatic analyses
- Statistical analyses for comparing patients and controls
The student’s responsibilities
We expect that the student will participate in the group’s regular project and literature meetings, read up on relevant literature, and present your project at internal meetings.
