About Me:
Hello! My name is Nabia. I am currently a PhD candidate in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a graduate research assistant in the Systems and Synthetic Biology laboratory at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a master’s in Biomedical Engineering. My career goal is to become a researcher.
At SSBio, my research centers on the metabolic adaptations of multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum, and Chlamydia trachomatis. I am investigating the distinct overflow metabolism in these pathogens using both experimental and modeling approaches. Additionally, I am developing context-specific genome-scale metabolic models derived from single-cell RNA-Seq data to explore the metabolic dynamics of healthy and diseased human neutrophils.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy watching TV series and movies, spending time with family and friends, and cooking.
