Biography
Sajid Rashid obtained his Ph.D from George-August University, Germany. He currently holds as an Associate Professor in National Centre for Bioinformatics at Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan. His research focus mainly on novel protein complexes and pathways involved in cancerogenesis both by wet lab and dry lab techniques. In parallel to protein interaction studies, we also characterize novel drug targets computationally. Experimental approaches include, cloning, BN-PAGE, coimmunoprecipitation assay, GST-pull down, Ni-NTA method, immunostaining, whole mount in situ hybridization, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and 2D-gel assays.
