Poster #69 - Dareen Almojil

Postdoctoral Researcher, New York University Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Biography

Dareen completed her PhD in population genetics and reproductive behaviour of sharks. During her PhD and in an attempt to understand the links between animal behaviour and how it drives population structure and fitness, she gained more interest in environmental genomics. She is particularly interested in understanding how the environment contributes to the state of a disease or its susceptibility. Currently she is working on a project that investigates variation in genome-wide epigenetic profiles of children from Burkina Faso, before and during infection, and after treatment from malaria infection.
