Dana Al Sulaiman's Biography



Dana Al Sulaiman, Postgraduate Researcher, Imperial College London

Dana Al Sulaiman received her MEng degree (First-class Honors) in Bioengineering from Imperial College London in 2015. She was then awarded the President’s PhD scholarship to assist her in her studies. She is now a final year PhD candidate in the Ladame Lab in Bioengineering, where she is an active teaching assistant and lab demonstrator. Her research focuses on developing hydrogel-based platforms and biosensors for the detection and sensing of circulating nucleic acid biomarkers from liquid biopsy. Her project aims to provide a minimally invasive, ultrasensitive and robust technology that can be used in the clinic for the early detection and monitoring of cancer.

Circulating cell-free Nucleic Acids (cfNAs) found in biofluids have received significant attention; however, their naturally low abundance, short length and high sequence homology represent a major challenge for quantitative and specific detection. Herein, we demonstrate how chemical and physical hydrogels can be exploited to redefine and overcome intrinsic limitations of current optical and electrical nucleic acid sensing techniques, thereby offering low-cost and easily tunable matrices for the next generation of cfNA sensors.
