Abdul Majeed

I am currently in my fourth year, pursuing a dual degree in Bioengineering at IIT Madras. I did my schooling at Dubai and then came to India for professional studies. Well, my research interests include Systems Biology and Biochemical engineering. But since the past 8 months while working for iGEM 2009, I developed a passion for Synthetic Biology. My past research experience include working for Dr.Reed's group on Constrain based network analysis of sugar fermentation in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae at University of Wisconsin, Madison(Summer 2009) and an Industrial experience at Dr. Reddys Laboratory(Summer 2008). I enjoy playing and watching soccer. I aim high in life and try to keep up to my set standards. See you guys at the Jamboree!

Greetings, synthetic biologists and Stumblers alike. I am currently in my fourth year, pursuing a dual degree in Biotechnology at IIT Madras. I am primarily a molecular biologist and have previously worked on The mechanisms of Puf5p mediated translational repression in S. cerevisiae and a sequence/structure analysis of Puf5 binding to the HO mRNA 3’ UTR in Dr. Wickens' lab at the University of Wisconsin, Madison(Summer 2009).
That apart, I am an avid quizzer, Queen fan and sincerely believe that the answer to Life, the Universe and everything is 42!
See you at the Jamboree. Bring a towel.
