Master thesis / Semester project: The role of DAMPs in low back pain

  • University of Zurich
  • Department of Rheumatology

This project investigates how hematopoiesis is affected by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Methods: isolation, culture, and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC), qPCR, ELISA

  • Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Medical and Health Sciences
  • Bachelor Thesis, Internship, Lab Practice, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Master thesis / Semester project: Why do Modic Changes cause back pain?

  • University of Zurich
  • Department of Rheumatology

This project investigates why more sensory nerve endings are found in Modic changes (MC), a painful and highly prevalent, yet poorly understood spinal pathology. In-vitro sprouting of sensory nerves will be quantified in co-culture with human bone marrow aspirates from human MC and control aspirates

Master thesis / Semester project: Pathophysiology of Modic Changes in Low Back Pain

  • University of Zurich
  • Department of Rheumatology

This project investigates the molecular and cellular changes in Modic changes, a painful and highly prevalent, yet poorly understood spinal pathology. Human bone marrow aspirates will be analyzed with FACS, next-generation RNA sequencing, qPCR, mass spectrometry, Western blotting, and ELISA.
