Background
I am a dedicated molecular biologist with expertise in molecular biology, developmental biology, cell cycle regulation, tumor suppressor mechanisms, using state of art technique like mass spectrometry and fluorescent microscopy. I found a novel key component of cell cycle regulation which block/suppress ubiquitination in p53 pathway in cancer cell lines with Prof. Angus I Lamond in GRE, University of Dundee and awarded The Howard Elder Prize (2014). I moved to further ubiquitination study with Prof. Mark Field in Drug Discovery Unit to reveal the ubiquitination and drug intaking mechanisms in Trypanosome from 2017. Currently, I am a part of the Yanick Crow Group at the MRC Human Genetics Unit, University of Edinburgh, where I focus on studying Interferonopathy. With a strong academic background and extensive research experience, I have made significant contributions to the field of molecular biology and have collaborated with esteemed researchers and professors throughout my career.
