Werdegang

She finished her Masters in Biotechnology in 2020 from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. During her master studies, she worked various projects and got an opportunity to purse her Master thesis at the Chromosome Biology Lab in IISER Pune. At IISER, she investigated the role of nuclear lamins in DNA DSB repair via the NHEJ pathway.

 

Aktuelle Forschungsschwerpunkte

Bushra Khan joined the Chromatin and SUMO Physiology group (AG Nayak) through the HBRS MD/PhD Molecular Medicine program. As her PhD project, she is currently investigating the role of the SUMO isopeptidases in skeletal myogenesis and muscle atrophy.

 

Expertise

Beside her experience in cell and molecular biology, she has experience in bioinformatics such as protein structure analysis tools (RasMol, Ramachandran Plot) and proteomic network analysis such as STRING.
