Perform CRISPR single-base gene editing in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and direct their differentiation into cardiomyocytes for disease modelling and genetic variant assessment.
Apply next-generation sequencing techniques, including amplicon and RNA sequencing, to investigate genetic and molecular mechanisms.
Conduct flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and 2D/3D cellular assays to characterise cardiomyocyte structure and function.
Develop and implement innovative techniques for cardiac cell assessment and functional analysis.
Contribute to experimental design, project strategy, literature reviews, manuscript preparation, grant writing, conference presentations, and research reporting.
