Single-molecule analysis of replication origin chromatin
Supervisor: Dr. Stephan Hamperl
Enrolled since 2022
Atiqa obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from the University of Karachi and a Master’s in Biosciences from Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology, Karachi, Pakistan. After her Masters, she joined the Aga Khan University, Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research as a research associate where she focused on understanding the 3D genome organization of human prophase nuclei. Atiqa joined Hamperl lab as a doctoral student in December 2022 to work on the single-molecule analysis of replication origin chromatin.
