Student testimonials 2010 of the Laboratory of Nematology

After months of data analysis, and what feels like deep-sea diving into an unknown sea of data, we found several regulatory loci related to stress.

Although not everything went entirely smooth, it was great fun to do the greenhouse experiments.

The weekly work discussions were also helpful, not only to update each other on what we were all doing but also to share ideas

In the end a possible therapeutic potential for treatment of hyper immune diseases was found,

Investigating the protein uptake and its biological activity in N. benthamiana plants

... I had only theoretical knowledge but my supervisor gave me opportunity to try myself many interesting laboratory methods

... mushroom extracts has been previously shown to possess immunostimulatory activity, which can be helpful for preventing or combating diseases, related to the immune system

Using state-of-the-art technology developed by members of the lab, finally those sequences were revealed.

The subject of my thesises were about enhancing antibody production in plants as therapy against IBD

My goal of this thesis was to gain more insights of the biological functions of a protein secreted by plant parasitic nematodes

Firstly I work on Mushroom as immunomodulation, I saw the working environment and the favorability condition to develop experiences, and I decided to continue my second thesis with the chair group

...I could perform different techniques like cloning, confocal microscopy or ELISA

During my study plant science I was always interested in the subject health and for my BSc thesis I wanted to integrated this with plants
