About Me
Hello! I’m Aamina, a biomolecular researcher passionate about understanding how RNA dynamics and immune regulation shape cancer biology. My work bridges molecular experimentation and translational insight, with a focus on RNA biology, immunology, and cancer biomarker discovery.
I hold a master’s degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and have several years of international research experience in RNA biology and cancer biomarker development, with peer-reviewed publications from collaborative research projects. I have hands-on experience in RNA-seq analysis, qPCR/RT-PCR, flow cytometry, and cell culture systems to investigate RNA regulation and cancer biomarker expression.
My long-term goal is to advance the understanding of molecular and immunological mechanisms and facilitate their clinical translation through an integrative approach that combines RNA biology, molecular oncology, immunology, and bioinformatics. As I continue to build on this foundation, I am seeking a PhD opportunity where I can apply my interdisciplinary experience, expand my technical expertise, and contribute meaningfully to discoveries at the interface of RNA biology, immunology, and cancer research.
I believe science should be shared, not just published. Through writing and mentoring, I enjoy turning complex scientific ideas into conversations that anyone can understand.
