Dr. Abdulrahim Sajini completed his MSc degree in Stem Cell Biology from the University of Minnesota, USA and his PhD in Stem Cell Biology and RNA Post-transcription modifications from the University of Cambridge, UK. In Minnesota, he was involved in studying pluripotency in embryonic/induced pluripotent stem cells. Later, in Cambridge, he worked with Dr. Michaela Frye, investigating how RNA post-transcription modifications on non-coding RNAs modulate adult stem cell self-renewal. Subsequently, he completed his post-doc at the University of Cambridge researching RNA methylation dependent binding proteins and non-canonical microRNA pathways. He has published papers in top journals such as Developmental Biology, Cell Press, and Nature.
Dr. Abdulrahim also completed his entrepreneurship training at the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge as part of the Accelerate Cambridge Program in 2015. His research interests are focused on stem cells, RNA post-transcription modifications, islet transplants, diabetes, and non-coding RNAs.
