Graduate students

Sabih Rashid
Ph.D. student
sabih.rashid@mail.mcgill.ca

Sabih completed his Master’s degree in Biochemistry at McMaster University. He joined the Roy lab in September 2019 as a Ph.D. student. His project focuses on understanding how AMPK regulates small RNAs during the dauer stage. In particular, he is interested in how AMPK interacts with components of RNA interference pathways during the dauer stage, how changes in small RNA populations impact fertility and health in AMPK-deficient worms, and how these effects are transgenerationally inherited.
