I joined Dr Esen'lab in middle January as a visiting scholar and left it mid-June. I had read some interesting papers published by the lab and I also wanted to learn some molecular biology techniques.
I worked on the isolation and purification
of a Sinapis alba beta-S-glucosidase (using Escherichia coli
and Pichia pastoris as expression hosts).
I had really enjoyed this experience but I am sad because I already left and so, I say "Arrivederci" to the wonderful people in the lab!
The lab in April 2001:
