Through the use of selective genetically modified mice, we also aim to elucidate molecular mechanisms involved in such processes. 
Key responsibilities: preparing mice and executing inflammation and skin cancer experiments; daily monitoring of experimental mice, assisting with cell preparations from various mouse organs and flow cytometry; drug, cell or antibody treatment of mice at various time points; involvement in microscopy experiments; overlooking and genotyping of key mouse strains.
