Gadisti Aisha Mohamed

Pattabiraman lab

A graduate of National University of Singapore, Aisha received a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Life Sciences, specializing in Molecular and Cell Biology. She then attended Queen Mary University of London and was awarded a Master of Science, with distinction, in Molecular Pathology and Genomics. Here at Dartmouth, Aisha is in the Molecular & Systems Biology PhD program in the Pattabiraman lab studying intra-tumoral heterogeneity, which is the presence of multiple different subpopulation of cells within the same tumor. She is determining how cellular heterogeneity affects tumor growth, tumor metastasis, and response to treatment. Aisha is particularly interested in determining which kinds of cells within a normal mammary gland give rise to heterogeneity in breast cancer. Aisha loves to read scifi/fantasy/alternate history books, solving puzzles and cooking.
