In Vivo Veritas? Cell-Based Assays for Identifying RTK Inhibitors

By Tea Gunde, Scientist at ESBATech AG

Tea Gunde received her first degree in Biology from the University of Zurich. She then joined ESBATech for her PhD studies on the subject of functional screening systems in yeast, where she was instrumental in the development of the assays for the receptor tyrosine kinases. Her experience and expertise gained during her PhD studies was put to good use in the subsequent exploitation for high-throughput small compound screens for kinase inhibitors and their characterisation in follow-up experiments.
