Bio
Aishat is a Research Assistant with the Genomic Diversity Research Group at Queen Mary University of London. Her current research focuses on identifying genetic risk variants and exploring causal relationships between genetic factors and disease outcomes.
She completed her undergraduate degree in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Lagos and her Master’s degree in Genomic Medicine at the University of Oxford, supported by the AfOx-Mastercard Foundation Scholarship.
Her research interests have evolved from clinical training, medical education and radiation therapies into a focused interest in cancer care and genomics, driven by the need to better understand disease mechanisms and improve patient outcomes. She is particularly interested in translating genomic research on non-communicable diseases, particularly cancers, into clinical insights that improve access to precision healthcare.
