Research Experience

My undergraduate research focused on metatranscriptomic analysis of stress response gene groups in Cavendish banana bacteria. I performed metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis on banana fruit samples to compare microbial gene expression patterns under different conditions (ripe vs unripe, chitosan-coated and control). For my master’s thesis, I conducted research on heterologous squalene production in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). I successfully cloned and expressed the sqs gene from Javanese marine bacteria Virgibacillus salarius in E. coli, significantly increasing squalene production. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation in both microbial genetics and the application of omics technologies.
