Techniques Damla Bilgin Uses:
I am a broadly trained plant scientist and have experience in molecular biology techniques (RNA, DNA isolation, high-throughput gene expression analysis, cloning, virus induced gene silencing). I use experimental and computational systems biology tools, functional genomics and activity based metabolomics. Also, I have experience related to plant photosynthesis, growth, biomass and yield.
Damla Bilgin's Problem Solving Skills:
- Molecular biology techniques, LC/MS user
Damla Bilgin's Problem Solving Experience:
- -I developed an RNA isolation protocol that gives high yield clean RNA from plants and can be used for real-time RT-PCR and Affymetrix GeneChip.
-I have a pending patent for a defense compound that has antifungal activity against plant and animal fungi
-I developed an high throughput bacterial infection method that can be used in field experimental setups.
