Fatema joined SG lab in 2021 as a PhD student. Her research focuses on plastidial stress granules their role in stress tolerance, in addition to unveiling stress granules and processing bodies interaction in plants.
Fatema obtained her BSc Genetics “Hons” undergraduate degree from University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland working with the Atkins Recoding Research Group to analyse “Stop/Go” recoding in foot and mouth disease virus(FMDV) and earned her Master’s degree in Bioscience; Cell & Molecular Biology from KAUST where she worked on characterisation of a novel nuclear specific dicer-isoform in human cells. After that she worked on lipid metabolism modulation in colorectal cancer stem cells induced by hypoxia before joining the SG lab.
Plastidial Stress Granules, P-Bodies
I have always been fascinated by molecular mechanisms and how the combination of these gives rise to life of a multicellular organism. Enthralled by membraneless organelles and their functions. Thoroughly enjoy the challenge of scientific discovery.
