Saleh Shekari

About me:

Saleh is a PhD student at University of Exeter and the University of Queensland (QUEX Institute). His broad interests are statistical analysis of Human genomics and medical Genetics. His research project is to increase our understanding of the factors and processes that contribute to female reproductive ageing and determine the impact of reproductive ageing on health. The project will include identifying on risk factors for early menopause that could be incorporated in to a predictive tool for early menopause and infertility in young women.

My previous research focused on understanding the basis of fast and slow disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this study was to validate the gene expression changes identified and establish a correlation between mRNA and miRNA expression level, in order to recognize target for slowing down disease progression.
