Aziz, Athar - University of Salford - Biomedical Research Centre

个人简介

I was born in Pakistan and did my undergraduate studies in biomedical sciences at Shaikh Zayed Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lahore, Pakistan. After almost three years of working in diagnostic pathology labs, I decided to study further and did a Masters in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Heidelberg University, Germany. I got a French ministerial (MENRT mobility) fellowship to do a PhD in one of the best immunology institutes in world (CIML), and I worked on macrophages differentiation and transcription factors controlling the macrophages cell fate choice. After that I joined the haematology department at Cambridge University (Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge) as a Research Associate and developed an in vitro model system to analyse consequences of loss of expression of Del20q imprinted genes cluster. Having worked in different countries I have gathered knowledge of different cultures and languages.

研究领域

Transcription regulation in haematopoietic cells controlling the cell fate choices and leukaemia initiating epigenetic events. Tumour microenvironment and cross talk between tumour and non-tumour cells in microenvironment.
