Research group

Einar Hallberg's research group

Human diseases such as cancer have been tied to proteins in Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPC). It has become increasingly clear that the proteins of the nuclear envelope orchestrate many functions involving cell signalling and chromatin organisation. The Hallberg Group is progressing on the path of discerning the nature of the pivotal role these proteins serve.

About me

 I did my bachelor's from the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics and did my BS dissertation on Microbial genetics. Then I did my Masters and PhD from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Punjab, Pakistan with my main focus on EMT in cancer and expression of related genes. I worked at the Harvard-MIT Institute of Health Science and Technology on organ-on-chip platforms and 3D bioprinting techniques. I served at the University of Lahore, Pakistan (Full-time), Pakistan (Visiting) lecturer for a period of two years. Now I have joined Prof. Einar Hallberg's lab at Stockholm University as a Postdoctoral Fellow and working on Chromatin Organization in neurodegenerative disorders and Cancer.
