Nabila is a graduate student in Mary Lou Guerinot Lab studying the regulation of Iron homeostasis and abiotic stress adaptations in Arabidopsis thaliana. She received her Master’s in Plant Sciences from University of Bonn, Germany and her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from LUMS, Pakistan. Her research focuses on understanding how plants adapt their photosynthetic machinery during iron deficiency to prevent photo-oxidative damage. She has been analyzing large transcriptomic data sets including both RNA-seq and Microarray to identify genes with notable expression profile important for iron deficiency, phototolerance and other abiotic stress responses. Outside Lab, Nabila enjoys travelling, photography, kayaking, hiking and cooking.
