I am a PhD student in Aftab Nadeem lab. My project aims to investigate the interaction of bacterial pore-forming proteins with mammalian cells and Acanthamoeba castellanii. Using cellular and biochemical approaches, I specifically aim to investigate how the pore-forming proteins, mainly ClyA and MakA, interact with the host cell membrane and regulate various cellular signaling cascades.
I have studied Master of Science in biotechnology (civilingenjör i medicinsk bioteknik) at Umeå University.
