Graduate Student Researcher

Korea University - Seoul, South Korea

< Development of Immuno-Chromatographic Assay System for Peptic Ulcer

Disease

. Optimized cultivation conditions for large-scale culture of

Helicobacter pylori.

. Designed and developed purification steps to obtain specific

antigens from the microorganism utilizing column chromatography

(ion exchange and size exclusion), PAGE, Western blotting,

dialysis, and ultrafiltration.
