Kempe postdoc in Aftab Nadeem’s research group. Investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction of bacterial pore forming toxins (PFTs) with mammalian cells.
Naeem Ullah holds a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) in Biochemistry (Pakistan). Soon after finishing my master, I went to pursue my PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology at Xi'an Jiaotong University PR China, funded by Chinese government scholarship. In my PhD, I mainly focused on the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in inflammation associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer.
Following my PhD, I started postdoctoral fellowship at Chulalongkorn University Thailand, funded by second century fund (C2F), where I focused on rapid diagnostic methods for detecting antimicrobial resistance genes (AMR) particularly extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs), and mobile colistin resistance gene in Escherichia coli isolates.
Now at Umeå University, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Aftab Nadeem lab under Kempe Foundation Postdoc Fellowship. My project involves investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction of bacterial pore forming toxins (PFTs) with mammalian cells. This understanding will enable us to uncover molecular insights regarding the underlying causes of infectious diseases and will assist us in establishing new therapies for serious infections.
