Naureen Aslam, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

With over 5 years of experience in academia and industry, I am a passionate scientist focused on cellular, molecular, and computational biology. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working with scientists from diverse backgrounds to address emerging healthcare challenges.My current focus is on translational research in preclinical AAV-based gene therapies. I specialize in establishing, optimizing, validating, and troubleshooting assays for target validation, characterization, and mechanism of action studies, which are crucial for advancing therapeutic pipeline programs.I excel at analyzing and interpreting data, effectively communicating research findings within teams and broader contexts. With a strong "can-do" attitude and proven scientific problem-solving abilities, I manage multiple projects concurrently. I am adaptable and committed to delivering time-sensitive studies, meeting deadlines with flexibility.I draft, review, and finalize high-quality scientific and technical documents, including standard operating procedures, study reports, electronic laboratory notebooks, experimental design, data analysis, and instrument maintenance.My hands-on experience spans a wide array of research techniques, including cell culture, DNA/RNA extractions, AAV transduction, ddPCR, qPCR, Western blot, ELISA, ChIP-seq, SDS-PAGE, nucleic acid quality assessment using Bioanalyzer, bacterial transformation, ligation-independent cloning, restriction digestion, protein expression, purification, and crystallography.I am proficient with data analysis tools such as GraphPad Prism, PyMOL, Chimera, and Primer Design, as well as bioinformatics tools including BLAST, protein structure prediction and function, molecular docking and simulations, mutational analysis, and signaling pathway identification.
