2006 - 2006
- To explore 2-3 potential proteins solubility schemes to obtain grain protein fractions (gliadin, soluble-and insoluble- glutenin).
- To explore the possible development of a calibration equation to estimate the concentration of selected grain protein fractions by NIR spectroscopy.
- To determine the relationship between protein-fraction concentration and Fe and Zn concentration, in a large wheat population that shows wide variability in micronutrients concentration.
Technical skills: Gel SDS-PAGE, proteins extraction by solubility.

- Associate research
2004 - 2006
- Work in the data analysis of the project ?Improving the drought tolerance of maize and sorghum through comparative genomics, germplasm analysis, and marker-assisted breeding?.
- Finalization of all necessary tables and figures of QTL analysis for publications, in the framework of the ?Generation? Challenge Program project ?Determination of a common genetic basis for tissue growth rate under water-limited conditions across plant organs and genomes?.
- Collating and analysis of all QTL data on growth parameters in maize and other genera (wheat and rice) from all partners in the project (IRRI, INRA, CIMMYT).
Technical skills: Proficiency using bioinformatic tools to display QTL and genomic data (Biomercator, Comparative Map and Trait Viewer), construction of consensus maps between crosses and across crops, help in QTL analysis using Composite Interval Mapping package developed at Cimmyt, Int. closed to QTL cartographer.
