Profile bio
About Ambreen Sayed-Zahid, Phd
• Managed and lead 2 NIH funded projects on Muscular Dystrophy and ALS leading successful completion of the projects with 3 manuscripts in preparation. • Trained and mentored several rotation students and trainees in the lab and having spearheaded internal and external collaborations leading to contributions in grant funding. Has been student coordinator of the Biomedical Sciences and Engineering Dept. at University of Maine and of the Jackson laboratory student body and student leader of the entrepreneurship cell at Jai Hind College, Mumbai, India.• Highly adaptable and integrates fast in a multicultural environment. Observant, analytical and detail-oriented personality that thrives in a dynamic and accelerating research environment. I am currently located in Bar Harbor where I am wrapping up my PhD research at the Jackson Laboratory. I am one of three people in the world working on a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy with megaconial myopathy (MDCMC), in which patients suffer from limb muscle degeneration, severe cognitive impairment and have giant mitochondria. My work involves a range of cell and molecular biology techniques, focus on different therapeutic strategies, including gene therapy (AAV injections) and dietary modifications, for the rescue of muscular dystrophy and a wide variety of behavioral testing for motor and cognitive impairments in mice. I have experience in Biotechnology, having interned at Biocon Ltd. and higher education, having taught courses in Genetics and Developemntal Biology at the undergrad level. I am looking to transition into industry post graduation this fall.
Listed skills include Molecular Biology, Research, Leadership, Cell Biology, and 14 others.

A novel disease mechanism identified in rostrocaudal muscular dystrophy (rmd)Rostrocaudal muscular dystrophy (rmd) is a new recessive mouse mutation that causes a rapidly progressive muscular dystrophy. We identified the rmd mutation in the choline kinase beta (Chkb) gene, resulting in a complete loss of CHKB protein and enzymatic activity. Choline kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of choline to phosphocholine in the biosynthesis of the major membrane phospholipid phosphatidylcholine (PC). While mutant rmd mice show a dramatic decrease of CHK activity in all tissues, the dystrophy is only evident in skeletal muscle tissues in an unusual rostral-to-caudal gradient. Enlarged mitochondria are evident in rmd muscles, suggesting that dysregulation of energy metabolism may underlie the muscle disease. Our identification of the mouse Chkbrmd mutation directly led to the identification of similar human CHKB mutations in children diagnosed with a severe megaconial congenital muscular dystrophy (MDCMC). The rmd mutant mouse offers the first demonstration of a defect in a phospholipid biosynthetic enzyme causing muscular dystrophy and provides a unique resource for understanding the causes and potential treatment of this disorder.

Phd Candidate
I have completed my PhD thesis project at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. I have enjoyed exploring the mysteries behind congenital muscular dystrophy with Megaconial myopathy and testing for cognitive impairments in a mouse model for muscular dystrophy while being surrounded by beautiful mountains of Acadia on the island of Bar Harbor.
