Ihab Younis

Started at CMU-Q August 2015. Now an associate teaching professor in the Biological Sciences Program.
After earning a PhD from Ohio State University in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, I trained as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Gideon Dreyfuss, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine. In 2013, I worked in the same lab as a senior research investigator working on splicing mechanisms in diseases.
My expertise is in Molecular biology and Molecular Genetics. I use a variety of technologies to characterize splicing and its regulation in normal and disease cells, including traditional techniques such as PCR and microarrays, as well as state of the art techniques such as Next Generation Sequencing of nascent pre-mRNA (RNA-seq) and High Throughput Screening.
