Biography
Ali has a background in sensory physiology and bioinformatics. They did their DPhil at the University of Oxford with Prof. David Bennett and Prof. Georgios Baskozos, looking at the molecular profiling of murine primary afferents in neuropathic pain.
Working with Prof. Ted Price at UTDallas now, their work focuses on human DRG proteomics, as well as a combination of spatial compartmental approaches including spatial proteomics through laser capture microdissection, proximity labelling, and synaptosome profiling.
Through Oxford, this research focus translates to studying the molecular profiling of DRG neurons and iPSC derived nociceptors across painful conditions and model systems. Processed sequencing data can be found on our database (DRG Directory).
