    RESEARCH INTEREST

    My research is focused on the development of biomolecules that act as anti-cancer drugs through epigenetics mechanisms. These biomolecules include the combination of engineered Argonaute proteins with single guide RNA and specific peptide nucleic acid (PNA). The research includes the application of bioinformatics to find interesting genes, genetic engineering and gene cloning for bacteria to produce the desired protein, cultured cell lines, determination of the properties of biomolecules that are effective in inhibiting cancer cells or not by colony forming assay and MTT assay, analysis of gene expression by microarray technique.
