Tala’s undergraduate focused on the design of a methane recovery plant from landfill gases and the manufacturing of non-egg-based platform for influenza vaccine using SF9 insect cells. For his Master’s thesis, he explored the silencing effects of master regulatory transcription factor Foxa1/2 in human liver cancer cells and analyzed the spatial components of liver bud growth. Tala’s PhD is centered around reducing methane emissions in the exhaust gas of natural gas vehicles using zeolite supported palladium catalysts.
