Research Assistant 02/2014 - 04/2014
University of Bern, Switzerland, Bern, Bern Switzerland
Industry: Life Science- tissue engineering
I worked as research assistant in Tissue and mechanobiology lab at ISTB, University of Bern, o a pilot project of mechanical model of ligament repair.
1. Pilot project: Developing mechanical model of human Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) for repair and regeneration with help of collagen patches, tenocytes, and human mesenchymal stem cells. 2. Other responsibilities: Supervision and research assistance for two master student projects and one PhD student project.--
Doctoral research student 11/2009 - 10/2013
University of Bern, Switzerland, Bern, Bern Switzerland
Industry: Biomedical sciences- cell biology
I worked on one major thesis project and 2 related projects in collaboration while pursuing Doctoral research degree at University of Bern.
Main Thesis: Geometry, Mechanical input and the cells: The project work dealt with analysis of the effects of surface geometry on cell mechanotransduction and studying the rearrangements of cytoskeletal components. 2. Collaborative project 1: 2D versus 3D environment for cells: Analyzed force generation in single cells in 3D environment using cantilever cages, specifically designed for single cell analysis at micrometric scales. 3. Collaborative project 2: Characteristic cell adhesion response to nanopatterns: Examined effect of available cell adhesion surface area on cell functions by limiting the adhesion area down to micro- and nanopatterns.--
