  • Cytotoxicity studies

Methods

  • Methylation Specific PCR (MSP)
  • Methylation-Sensitive High Resolution Melting (MS-HRM)
  • Gene expression profiling using high-throughput RT-qPCR
  • Cytotoxicity assays
  • Quantification by HPLC (nucleosides)

Teaching

  • Supervision of master thesis, term papers and bachelor thesis
  • Supervision of "Lebensmittelchemisches Praktikum II"
