Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany

Postdoctoral Research Associate / October, 2023October, 2024

During this study, I examined the effect of droplet formation via liquid-liquid phase separation of oppositely charged poly-electrolytes, a phenomenon known as complex conservation, on the non-enzymatic reduction of NAD+ to NADH, a reaction that may mimic early metabolic processes. The coacervate formation was induced using a 50-mer poly-arginine, and two reaction environments were explored: one beginning as a homogeneous solution and the other involving precipitates that later formed droplets. These environments were controlled by varying sodium bicarbonate concentrations. Using a range of analytical techniques, including HPLC, NMR, mass spectrometry, and biochemical assays, I demonstrated that coacervate droplets influence the reaction equilibrium, potentially shifting it towards enhanced NADH formation.

Doctoral Candidate / September, 2019August, 2023

In my doctoral thesis, I investigated the influence of complex coacervation, a form of electrostatically driven liquid-liquid phase separation, on primitive metabolic reactions. The phenomenon of complex coacervation occurs when oppositely charged polymers condense to form polymer-dense droplets, leaving the rest of the solution polymer-poor. I explored these compartments and integrated them with primitive metabolic reactions, i.e., reactions that are hypothesised as precursors to modern metabolic reactions, shedding light on their potential role in the origin of life. My research involved a wide array of techniques, including UV-vis, fluorescence, NMR, and Raman spectroscopy, as well as bright-field and fluorescence microscopy, FRAP, and Raman imaging. Additionally, I employed automation pipelines for chemical screening and conducted experiments in anaerobic conditions, as well as computational skills in MATLAB, KNIME, and image analysis to support my work.

ELVESYS, Paris, France

Intern / January, 2021February, 2021

During this internship, I worked in a non-academic environment, and was introduced to various concepts that are important for a start-up of their kind, such as key performance indicators and search engine optimisation. I also obtained a brief understanding of the responsibilities of the different departments in the company, such as Marketing, Sales and R&D. Furthermore, I was introduced to the fundamentals of microfluidics, including designing and preparation of PDMS chips. During this time I gained experience in microfluidics applications on cell culture.
