Very huge thanks to Dr Oyama for giving me the opportunity to work in the lab with her, She has taught me a lot about antimicrobial peptides, planning and conducting assays and report writing. Also very grateful to the laboratory staff and other researchers for guiding me along the way and having small talks as we were doing routine lab activities. Overall a satisfying experience, allowing me to gain knowledge and skills relevant to biological and chemical sciences, as well as transferable skills like network and communication, data processing and organisation. I had a very productive summer and I thank the team for the great time!
