KLAUDIA ROSIAK

Final-year BSc (Hons) Molecular Biology with Biopharmaceutical Science student at South East Technological University with practical academic laboratory experience across molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry and analytical chemistry. Experienced with DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, bacterial transformation, DNA sequencing, microbial culture, staining, antibiotic sensitivity testing, SDS-PAGE, protein assays, HPLC, GC and spectroscopy. Strong foundation in Good Laboratory Practice, aseptic technique, accurate pipetting, solution preparation, experimental data interpretation and scientific communication. Completed EU-CONEXUS academic activities instead of a traditional industrial placement, developing interdisciplinary teamwork and international collaboration skills.

• Final-Year Literature Review - Aseptic Technique, Investigating whether a Bunsen burner creates a measurable aseptic zone in a teaching laboratory, reviewing evidence relating to airborne contamination, aseptic technique and contamination control.
• Molecular Biology & Genetics Laboratory Work, Practical work involving DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, bacterial transformation and DNA sequencing, with sample preparation, micropipetting, controls and interpretation of results.
• Microbiology Laboratory Work, Applied aseptic technique, streak/spread plating, microbial culture, Gram and spore staining, colony counting, antibiotic sensitivity testing and RAPID testing for microbial analysis.
• Biochemistry & Protein Analysis, Practical experience with SDS-PAGE, Lowry protein assay, GOPOD and Kjeldahl assays, including standards, serial dilutions, sample preparation and interpretation of results.
• EU-CONEXUS Academic Experience, Participated in interdisciplinary academic activities and collaborative work, developing scientific communication, teamwork, time management, critical thinking and experience working with different academic backgrounds.
• Scientific Enquiry Projects, Researched and presented topics including magnesium and sleep; contributed to a structured team debate on the use of laboratory mammals in biomedical research; developed literature-searching and evidence-evaluation skills.
