With professional teaching and research experience in bioinformatics, Sobiah is working as a postdoctoral researcher in Anne Tuiskunen Bäck lab, focusing on a research project on myocarditis.
Anne Tuiskunen Bäck lab investigates the occurrence and impact of viruses in human diseases. Within the lab, Sobiah is primarily working on the myocarditis project, with a focus on analyzing sequencing data to generate clinically relevant insights and contribute to the broader aim of improving myocarditis diagnosis and care.
Eager to investigate unique biological questions using advanced technologies, Sobiah previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Helena Carén group at the Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, where she studied the genetic and epigenetic landscapes of brain tumors. Her work involved the analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, including Nanopore sequencing and ATAC-seq. She has also been awarded two research grants: the Wilhelm och Martina Lundgrens Vetenskapsfond and Lindhés Advokatbyrå AB.
Before moving to Sweden, she served as an Assistant Professor of Bioinformatics at the National University of Medical Sciences, Pakistan. Sobiah obtained her Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan, and conducted part of her doctoral research at the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, University of Adelaide, Australia, under a Higher Education Commission of Pakistan fellowship. Her Ph.D. project focused on forensic human identification using whole-genome and targeted sequencing approaches. Her Master’s research involved genotyping microcephaly families and performing in silico analyses. Overall, she had the opportunity to work both in experimental laboratories and in computational analysis. She has worked with genomic DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and cell-free DNA (cfDNA).
