Research Interests
Wajiha Abdullah serves as the lab instructor and plays a vital role in driving experimental research across multiple domains. Her primary focus is on elucidating the role of the chromatin regulator SET8 in replication stress and transcriptional regulation. She also has interdisciplinary experience in neuroscience, where she worked with EEG data to investigate the dynamics of brain wave patterns in postpartum individuals, exploring their correlation with cognitive and emotional states. Within the lab’s personalized therapeutics initiatives, Wajiha has significantly contributed to the establishment and maintenance of patient-derived cell lines and has overseen the extraction of high-quality DNA and RNA from clinical tumor samples for next-generation sequencing (NGS), thereby advancing the lab’s efforts in precision oncology.
