Biography
I have experience on the development of new strategies to generate transgenic bovine and porcine embryos for biotechnological applications by nuclear transfer (NT), Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
My current project is oriented towards embryology in human, mouse and bovine models. I will have the opportunity to develop genomics skills (single cell RNA sequencing) as well as fluorescence microscopy. I am also expected to take on training others in the methodologies to carry out at least the basic aspects of embryonic gene editing research.
Prof. Lanner, his group and the facility scientists at the Chair will provide me the training in both the experimental procedures and the state of the art data analysis. This will enable me to successfully develop my project and generate improved bovine models with a series of genetic modifications to elucidate X-chromosome inactivation as well as how lineage specification and pluripotency is controlled in the early embryo.
