Welcome Eusra Mohammad to our Biomedical Genomics Team!
We are delighted to announce the addition of Eusra Mohammad as our new Postdoctoral Researcher.
Eusra has earned her Ph.D. in “Bioinformatics and Computational Biology”, in the Department of Molecular Biology, Max Planck Institute of Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany. Her PhD research was particularly addressed to elucidate mechanisms of transcriptional cyclin dependent kinases (tCDKs) in transcriptional regulation. She designed and implemented computational analysis pipeline, analyzed and interpreted large scale multi-omics datasets (TT-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, mNET-seq) with implementing and testing statistical methods on collaborative research projects to drive the projects to completion. Additionally, she implemented kinetic modelling of multi-omics data sets to corroborate the overall findings.
As a part of our team, Eusra will particularly focus on the nuclear pore and how it affects gene regulation and genome stability in neural development and brain cancer. The objective is to use methods on multi-omics data analysis to investigate how 3D genome architecture in the nuclear pore affects gene regulation and genome stability with data on genome architecture (e.g. HiC, Hi-ChiP, DamID-HiChiP, MicroC), gene regulation (e.g. ChiP, DamID-ChiP, ATAC-Seq, RNA-seq), DNA damage (AP-Seq, 8-oxoG, END-Seq), germline mutations in neurodevelopmental disorders, and somatic mutations in paediatric brain tumours. The project is a collaboration between the lab of Tomohisa Toda on „Nuclear architecture in neural plasticity and ageing“ and the computational Research Group of Anna Poetsch on „Biomedical Genomics“ at the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden as part of the DFG priority program „Spatial Genome Architecture in Development and Disease (Genome3)“
We are thrilled to have Eusra's expertise and enthusiasm on board and look forward to the exciting discoveries and breakthroughs that her work will bring.
Welcome on board Eusra!
