Aisha Dahir

Aisha completed her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Birmingham. She focused on cell communication, with her research project specialising in understanding the genetic and protein changes in loss of Y chromosome in head and neck cancer. Staying on at Birmingham, she took a Msc in Bioinformatics where she analysed different datasets in several omics field using machine learning approaches. Her main project focused on single-cell RNA-seq analysis of mature and immature beta cells of healthy mouse. Aisha is interested in using these skills to understand genetic and epigenetic changes in disease and healthy states.
