Academia Sinica

Research Assistant

Academia Sinica is the most prestigious research institution in Taiwan. My roles include:
• Reprogramming hiPSCs from human fibroblast via mRNA transfection.
• Establishing and optimizing rapid differentiation protocol for dendritic cells from hiPSC to adapt the process onto an automated system.
• Designing flow cytometry panel to validate cell phenotype.
• Generating NK feeder cells through lentivirus packaging and transduction.
• Stem cell culture.

Project 1: Investigation of a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X in Taiwanese colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
• Successfully generated lncRNA X misexpression stable cell lines by lentivirus transduction.
• Conducted cell-based assays and tests to dissect the functional roles and significance of the lncRNA X in tumorigenesis.
• Performed immunoprecipitation to investigate and analyse potential downstream interaction proteins.
Project 2: Examined the involvement of microRNA in exosomes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
• Harvested, quantified the size and number of exosomes via NanoSight NS300 and performed cell assays to study EMT.
• Assisted in the subcutaneous injection of modified cancer cell lines and intraperitoneally administrated drugs in nude mice for drug resistance study.
• Trained and supervised students in molecular biology techniques.
