Hey, I’m Aamina
Researcher in RNA Regulation and Biomolecular Condensates
Uncovering how phase separation mechanisms regulate RNA-driven gene expression in disease
About Me
I am a biomolecular researcher focused on how biomolecular condensates regulate RNA-driven gene expression in disease. My work aims to understand how phase separation organizes cellular processes and modulates biochemical activity.
Currently, I am engineering LLPS-based enzyme systems to investigate how condensates influence enzymatic function and cellular regulation. This provides a mechanistic foundation for exploring how similar principles govern RNA regulation in complex diseases such as cancer.
With a background in cancer biology and multi-omics research, I aim to study how condensate-driven organization of RNA and proteins shapes gene expression and disease progression.
