This is how I design my plasmids with @twist_bioscience #ad ✨

Honestly makes me a bit sad when I think about all the time I spent doing classical molecular biology techniques to make my plasmids during my PhD😂 Now I just order my ready to go plasmid from Twist ✨

I do all my designing in the online platform and I was able to use one of their vectors for my plasmids- I just had to upload the sequence I wanted to insert! 

You can get free shipping and handling until the end of Jan with my code TWISTxKATIE 

 (Disclaimer: Twist Bioscience sent me these plasmids to try out but have used their products before working with them and they have worked great! )

And we cross our fingers that they all work out great 🤞
Honestly, November and December always feel like chaos trying to get all my experiments done before I kill off my cells for the Christmas break ☠️🎄
Nothing says Christmas like a load of cell assays 🧫
I work with immortalised cell lines and I have a bank of them stored in liquid nitrogen. This means I keep the cells and maintain them for a certain amount of time before getting up a fresh batch! I usually need to feed or split my cells every 3 days ish, so they won’t survive without me over the Christmas break ✨

✨Day in the life of a postdoc researcher✨

Most of my time working in the lab is spent in preparing samples for microscopy and imaging them! This is what a typical day looks like if I don’t have any meetings or writing to do 🔬

✨ Unfortunately (or fortunately) I do love these things✨ 

Had to hop on this trend ✌️
